my attorney told me I do not have to apply for H-1B extersion

[485486]

Hi,

I want your advice.

I told to my attorney today about my H-1B extersion, he told me
I do not have to apply that, if I will renew my EAD card 4 months before it expired.

Of course, if H-1B extension is not so expensive (130+1000+lawyer's fee > 2000$), I will definitaly apply for H-1B extension. Now my company just want to pay half of that money,
so I decide not to apply for that if I have to.

anyone here can tell me is there any potential problem?

My situation: H-1B (first 3 years) will be expired in the end of March.
I-485: 02-110-******

Thanks

Only one possible problem, if you AOS...

For your case, you do not have to extend the H1. However apply H1 extension give you some security just in case your I-485 has problem.
