Legal status afer GC withdrawl

[dharmender]

Here is my situation:

I got Green card approved for me 3 weeks back. I have been working till now on H1B visa. This is my 8th year on H1B
and i have H1B extened till June 2008.

My employer had filed total 3 GC applications for me. First GC application was filed in Oct 2001 and labor is not clear yet.
Second GC application was filed in PERM in Jan 2006 and approved in Mar 2006. After that I got substitute labor thru same employer and got GC based on this.

I want to marry a person who is in India and bring here in USA. My questions are:

1.Can I abondon my GC and get back to my EXISTING H1 B status (8th year currently) or i will need new H1B? So that i can bring her here on H4.

2. In case I can get back to my existing H1B after giving up GC, can i get extension for same H1B in future based on 2 other pending GC applications? Till now I have been getting H1B extensions based on my first GC application.

Thank you very much

--------------- if you want to abondon GC you need to go to US consulate and fill up the form before consulate officer. You are No more on H1 status. go out and then wait for new H1 petition to be approved then get H1 stamp and then enter US on H1 and can bring your spouse on H4 ( I dont know with pending bills if H1 visa will remain open in future or not.)
2. In case I can get back to my existing H1B after giving up GC, can i get extension for same H1B in future based on 2 other pending GC applications? Till now I have been getting H1B extensions based on my first GC application.
-------------------------- go to a good lawyer with all your details. FYI if one I-485 gets approved then all pending I-485 get denied.
Thank you very much

------------ dont abondon your GC
