Hi Friends
Need an advice !! My current I-485 Status is waiting for RFE Letter to arrive. (INS Mailed it today)
I have a valid H1 until 2004 (Same employer as GC process) and still working on that. I never applied for EAD. My wife's H4 had expired about an year back and she got her EAD last year but she never used that. We have decided not to renew her EAD this year. Her EAD is going to expire on Nov 30th. Now, we have a mandatory travel to India next month.
In my case, there wont be a problem as I can use my H1 for travel and to reenter. I also understand that my wife needs a parole, which we have applied last month. She is still waiting to get that. I am not sure if she can receive it by the end of next month. My question is what if she travels without having parole in hand and go to Madras consulate and get her H4 stamed based on my H1 validity. Will that be a problem ? Does she need to carry any other documents from here ?
Though my wife travels in November, I'm planning to go only after Christmas. If I get her parole by then, can I carry it with me and can she use that to re-enter ?
Please share your knowledge on this. I am waiting to book our air tickets.
Thanks
