Have a question about Switching from H1 to EAD to H1,
1) I am on H1-B (also have EAD, sponsored by h1 employer) and I have H1 visa stamp on my passport till Feb'2010 but I got my existing I-94 valid till Nov30'09 only since my passport expires on Nov30'09 (but I got renewed passport now).
2) And I got H1-B extended, beginning from Feb'2010 and new I-94 also starts from Feb'2010 (USCIS didn't consider attorney's request of starting I-94 from Nov30'09)
3) So, one should maintain valid I-94 to be on H1-B status and in my case I have no valid I-94 from Nov30'09 to Feb'2010,
4) So, is it possible to use my EAD between Nov30'09 to Feb'2010 and come back to H1-B beginning from Feb'2010 (that's when new extended H1-B/I-94 valid from)
5) Are there any means to get new I-94 other than travel out and come back to USA to get new I-94 at POE (for period, Nov30'09 to Feb'2010)
Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
