Hello,
As I understand and has been discussed many times:
One can re-enter on AP (Parolee status) and continue working on existing and valid H1-B petition without using EAD. H1-B non-immigrant status can be re-instated after filing an H1-B extension/transfer petition with USCIS which will have the effect of cancelling Parolee status and re-instatement of H1-B status.
My question is this:
What if one enters on AP and works on a valid H1-B extension within 30 days of re-entry (after finishing the term of the previous H1-B) that was applied for and approved prior to leaving US and entering as a Parolee? In this case, is it legal to work on the extended H1-B and did the Parolee get back into H1-B status even though the filing/approval for extension was done prior to leaving USA?
This is my case and I still have not found an exact response defining this case.
Hope some one provide a response.
Thanks.
