My wife's H4 will expire in april 08. I am wondering what is the best option for her (she has a pending I-485):

1- renew her H4 to have a safety net and apply for EAD and advance parole at a later date

2- get an EAD and advance parole only

Now one question, when you are on H4 and you then start working on EAD, you abandon your H4 status. If you leave the country and come back in, can you re-enter as H4 or do you need to have your advance parole ?

Thanks for your help.
 
safety net is always a best option especially of someone else pays for it.
you can re-enter but it is better to have AP
 
H-4 better option.
can enter back on H-4 even if u have AP.

my company is not paying for any of this, so i opted not to do H-1 and H-4 extensions and then had to renew EAD and AP for both of us.

That AP is still pending and the EAD was renewed by them for 10 months (they renewed it from the date they issued it and not from the date the first one was expiring).

The two EAD and AP (INS fees and Lawyer's fees turned out to be more expensive than the H-1 and H-4 extension)

If u can afford it, go for H-4 and later apply for EAD & AP.
