Hi, I filed 485 in Aug'04 for me, my wife and my Son. My Wife and Son's H4 expired in April'06. I didn't renew their H4 because we filed 485 and it is pending. One of friend told me that I should renew their H4 visa.

I and my wife have EAD's and Advance paroles. My son has only Advance parole.

Can any one please advise me:
a) Should I renew their H4 visa while 485 is in process. If yes, what is the procedure now as it is more than 6 months since the H4 visa expired.

PD: April'04
I140: Approved Sept'04
I485: Filed Aug'04

Thanks

as long as you applied I-485 before the expiry date of the I-94 No need of applying H4. They are pending AOS status.

Thanks tammy2,

So my wife and son can enter into US with expired H4 and only on Advance Parole?

As I mentioned I and my wife have EAD's, my son does't. So what status he is in now?

Your son and wife need the AP oly to re-enter the USA

He is in a legal state. It is waiting for "Adjustment of status" .
