Hi All,
I am new to this site but have heard a lot about Ciba and about this site. First of all let me thank Ciba and the others for maintaining
such a wonderful site to help people like us.
Now coming to my Question for which I need Help.
My husband has applied for I-485 in 02/2001 and we have done our FP in 04/2001. We also got our EAD card and AP.
I am also working and I have also got my EAD card through my husband.
But both our companies are not doing that great and may layoff some people. We don\'t know when...
Now we need to go to India because of some family reasons and we are not able to avoid the visit.
We are bit confused as to whether to come back on H1 or on AP.
If we come back on AP what if my husband is laid off ? Then what happens to our status ? Do we become out of status immediately ?
Probably his company may agree to keep him on payroll but looking at the way the CSC is right now going... so slow....we are not
sure how long it is going to take for the final approval !!.. Hence not sure how long the company can keep him on payroll !!
Even if we come back on H1 we need to get it stamped on our respective passports since we don\'t have the
latest companies H1 stamped on our passports.. Since we have already filed for our I-485 and have also got our AP, can we get
a new H1 stamped on our passport and is it Ok ? What is the best option in such cases ? Also what should one write in the Form
OF-156 for the question that they ask about filing any Immigrant Visa petition etc ? Will our H1\'s get rejected because of that or will
it cause any other problems ? Or should we come on AP ? But then what if we get laid off ? Oh God.. what a touch situation...
Please Help us.. with some suggestions....
I would appreciate if somebody could give us some suggestions whether to come on AP or on H1 or can suggest something.
Also if somebody has some experience in such cases would appreciate their inputs..
We don\'t want to jeopardise anything here.... We are so worried and confused as to what to do.
Would appreciate all your help and suggestions.
PLEASE HELP..
Thank you so much.
