Questions about my case

Hi, am new to the forum, so pardon me if I ask some basic questions.

My status :
Labor (EB2) Approved : Sept. 2005
140, 485 filed concurrently. Sept. 2005
Biometrics tests done in November 2005
140 : RFE in March 2006, sent the RFE docs in March 2006
140 Approved June 2006
Received EAD and AP in April 2006


I intend to travel to India. I believe I will be travelling on Advance Parole. My current H1-B is expiring in November 1st 2006.

Questions :
1. I will not be getting H1-B stamped while in India. I will come back on AP. (The current stamping dates in India will not let me have an appointment during my travel dates). Do I have to file for H1-B extension?

2.While I am in India, if I hear about my 485 approval, will they ask us for any appointments to show up immediately? Correct me if I am wrong but the FingerPrinting is same as the biometrics tests I have done, right ? My concern is, while being in India we should not get any notice that cuts our trip short. Is there a way of avoiding this ?

3. I intend to switch jobs. I believe my case is clear and AC-21 is not compulsory in my case. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks in Advance,

Rajan

----------- you can use the AP to come back or if visa stamp is till valid can use H1 visa. you can apply H1 extension, use of AP does not invalidate H1 StTUS
2.While I am in India, if I hear about my 485 approval, will they ask us for any appointments to show up immediately?

------------- You can enter with AP and your lawyer can reschedule the fingerfrinting date
3. I intend to switch jobs. I believe my case is clear and AC-21 is not compulsory in my case. Correct me if I am wrong.
------ you can, try to do that after you enter US, better be on H1 status
Thanks in Advance,
