H1B stamping while 485 pending

Hi,

My wife entered US on H4 visa. We then applied for 140/485. My wife found a job and wants to change to H1. AP pending and won't arrive in time for travel.

Can she apply for a H1 stamp safely in home country? Will it be considered abandoning 485 application? Has anybody here done something like this before?

Thanks a lot!

----- why cant she get EAD if her I-485 is filed??? on EAD she can work
Can she apply for a H1 stamp safely in home country?
------- if she gets H1 then she can apply H1 Visa , how safe? I dont know becase consulates at this time ask so much paper work
Will it be considered abandoning 485 application?
-----NO, one can be on H1 and AOS pending or I-485 pending at the same time
Has anybody here done something like this before?
---search the threads or ask your lawyer
Thanks a lot!
