Time to renew AP+EAD...Please advice

[Unbelievable]

Hi,

Our AP+EAD will expire on Apr, 2nd 04. Today my wife and our daughter reached India. I will be flying on 6th Feb'04. We will be using our AP while coming back to USA which is on Feb 27th, 04. I am woking in H1B now.

My question is,
Can I apply to renew for AP+EAD for us now?
Is this going to be any problem while coming back to USA?
Does appying to renew for AP+EAD will void our present AP+EAD?

Any answere will be greatly appricated.

Unbelievable.

Sure you can

You won't have any problem as long as your APs are still valid, so don't worry about that. However, you might have problem on maintain your H1-B status if you have to use your AP to enter US. Are you still working for the same employer who applied H1-B for you? If you are, some attornies (not all of them though) believe you still keep your H1-B status even after you use AP. Anyway, please be careful!

Does appying to renew for AP+EAD will void our present AP+EAD?

No.

I already confirmed that using AP will not void my H1B.

Anyway thanks.
