H1b or EAD

[ladude10]

Hi
I have valid H1b after 7th year extention as well as EAD approved recently. I haven’t used my EAD yet coz still working for my sponsoring company.
Now I am planning to invite my parents on visitor visa.
One of the requirement for visitor visa is showing working status.
Which status showing would be better EAD or H1b to American embassy in India (Mumbai)

Thanks in advance.

If you haven't used your EAD, and you are thus in H-1B status, well, that's the answer to your question!

If you ain't planning to switch your employer, I'd suggest stay on H1. The moment you start using EAD, you will loose your H1 status. Again, check with your lawyer for better advise...

It's not a question of "which status would be better", it's a question of what your status actually is!!. If you are in H-1B status, that's what you would put.
This is a very simple question on the visa application form that is answered in less than 2.5 seconds, it's not worth this much attention!
