Dear Rajiv,

First thanks very much for this imformative forum!

I have a question regarding my current H1 status. I have a H1 from a university and also a EAD because my husband (H1) filed 485. I recently got an offer from a company, they are going to process H1 for me. I have two questions:

1. Since the cap for 2004 is reached, can I use EAD to start now and then wait for tranfer this H1? But some people told me if I start to use EAD, I may not be able to go back to H1. Is this true?

2. Also, if the company file the H1 for me now, can I go ahead to work now or do I need to wait till October 2004?

Thanks very much!

Tasneem
