Urgent! Strange Situation

[jv_gc]

All,

My current H1B is valid until Jan 25th 2006. I have EAD and AP from my husbabnd's 485. I travelled to Inida in August 2005 and came back in September 2005 using AP. At POE they gave me I-94 until September 25th 2006 based on my AP. But my H1B is valid until Jan 25th 2006. My H1B is due for renewal. Should I submit my current I-94 that I got in POE for H1B extension?

Did anyone so far renew H1B after travelling using AP?


Thanks in advance

You should be OK.

I also got one year when came back on AP - H1b Expired, when I was waiting for 485 approval. they don't check VISA validity so you should be good. If you plan to travel again , you should have a valid AP

Hope this helps!!

Once you enter US using AP, all visas (including H1, H4, F1 J1 etc)automatically gets cancelled. You are no longer in H1 now. You have to use EAD for work. You were admitted to US based on expiry date of your AP. To go out again, you need another AP if the current expires before leaving/projected re-entering date.

This is not correct
If you are paroled into the country your H1B visa is automatically cancelled but you can continue using your H1B status for work.
