Hi
I am currently in H1 status. I do not have a valid visa on my passport though. I also have a valid EAD/AP tho not used it yet.
i am planning on making an international trip , Since i dont have a valid visa stamped on my passport I intend to use AP to enter.
I was told that using the AP for entering automatically makes my H1 and my wife's H4 status invalid? I want to retain my H1 and her H4 as a back up.
I read somewhere that if you use the AP for entering you can file an INS form after entering US to reinstate H1 status.
Does anybody know if this is true and what INS form this is?
I read in the forum that the only way to reinstate the H1 is to
go out of the country , get visa stamped and enter on new I-94 but i want to know if there is another way.
Really appreciate the help..
Please let me know..
shaket..
