Can someone please help me answer my questions below. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks
My wife's OPT recently expired. She has an H1b approval (visa to be issued abroad) with a start date of Oct 1. Meanwhile she has also applied for 485 as my derivative beneficiary. We recently also applied for her COS from F1 to H4. We are planning to go to India to get the H1B stamped but are fearing that recent filing of 485 would be abandoned. My question is
1) Can a person currently on F1 with pending I 485 leave US for 30 days and comeback on H1B without abandoning I 485 application assuming travel is without AP?
2) Once she gets her H4 approved (likely after Oct 1) can she go and get H1B stamped even though the start date on her h1b is Oct 1?
3) Can we get an emergency AP from local USCIS office given our situation?
