Hello,

My company applied for my H1B extension in August before my H1B unexpired petition, I was at Parole status at the time of extension as I visited outside in May and entered on AP but I was working based on H1B petition and not invoked EAD.

In Oct, there was famly emergency , so I travelled outside USA for 1 week while H1B extension pending, So I again entered on AP in mid Oct and I got new I-94 at Port of entry which says Parolee and I-94 is valid for 1 year.

I got H1b extension approval in Nov 2nd week and I-797 has I-94 attached in bottom which has the same number Issued to me at POE in May i.e the same I-94 which I submitted in my H1B extension papers or the same I-94 number I already handover to airlines while leaving in Oct.

I am continue working with my GC and H1B sponser Employer.


Parolee I-94 number have a validatity from Oct2012 till Oct 2013.

H1B Approval Petition having I-94 attachd have a validaity from 1 Sep 2012 till Augst 2015.

So Please advice , which Status I am. I am on Parolee status or on H1B status?

Thankyou
KK
 
Is it safe to come back to US 1 month before expiration of OPT ?

Hi,
My OPT will expire on Feb 20-2013. I am planning to travel outside US on first week of january and return on last week of JAN. Since travelling outside US during opt extension pending is not safe, I am thinking of applying for STEM once I come back. What I am worried right now is, Will it be problem since I am coming back to US only 20 days before the OPT expiration. I am currently employed and my employment will be continuing after I come back. Can some one please help me out ?
