H1B extension or EAD

[san_gcwait]

Hi,
I'd appreciate if someone can suggest if I should apply for an H1B extension or use my EAD.

My H1B is expiring in the 1st week of Feb 2004. I'm in the AOS stage(I-485 pending) and have I-140/labour approved. I do have an EAD which is good till 09/04. I'll be completing my 6 yrs on H1B in July 04 so should I use my EAD after 1st week of Feb 04 or file for H1B extension, please advice. And If I should apply for an extension how soon do you think I should apply for that.

Please respond since my H1B is expiring in 1st week of Feb so in case I've to file extension I should do it asap.

Thanks

---- you have I-140 approved you can use EAD if you want, you can send the H1 extension now if you wish, it is good to be on H1 till I-485 gets approved
