Back in April 2012 I ( and my wife) received EAD and Adv. Parole combo cards. I am on H1B and wife on h4. My h1 was expiring in Aug 13 so my employer had applied for the renewal and i received it. In Aug 13 i traveled to Canada and got the H1b stamped at the Ottawa consulate. My wife didnt get the h4 stamped. At Toronto airport,I have presented my H1 visa for entry and got it. But when my wife came at the counter she gave the AP card and the officer asked me if i had recvd mine and I said yes ( truthfully). Then the officer took back the entry on the h1 status and got another officer and they both told me i was supposed to enter on AP and not h1b since i had Ap card and AP supersedes H1. I told them that i want to enter on H1b and not AP but they completely refused and was basically Advanced paroled into US.I got the I-94 till Aug 14. My H1 is valid till 2016 and my EAD/AP is valid till 2015.
1) Is my work status H1B or EAD?
2) Is my H1B visa totally nullified because i didn't enter on it and my i-94 does not reflect that and I-94 has paroled on it?
3) I am planning to got to India in December. Is my H1b still valid ? Can i enter on H1b Visa in December?
4) Can i continue to work on H1b with same employer?
5) Should i re-enter US with H1b Visa to get the Status back on H1?
