use of EAD and AP

I will be using my EAD to change to part time in my current job.
I am planning to travel to India sometime in December and would like to know if I can use my H1 which is valid until July 2004 to re-enter or do I have to use AP since I will be using EAD.

I would like to extend my H1 in July 2004 and willl need I-94 to apply for extension.

Do you get I-94 if you enter on AP.

Also my spouse is on 7th year H1 and will need to get visa stamped when we go to india. Since visa stamping could take long, can he use AP to enter US wihtout using EAD.

FYI,

1140/485 concurrent at VSC
ND: 04/17/03
EAD: 05/22/03
AP: 05/27/03
I140: ???
1485: ???

Thanks
 
once you use your EAD for whatever reason (including part time jobs) your status reverts from H1 to EAD. You would NEED a AP to enter the country after that.
 
My attroney said that I can use H1 to re enter if I have a valid visa stamp in my passport. I do have a visa stamp until July 2004.

He also said that I can apply for H1 extension in July even if I use AP and it does not matter whether I94 says H1b or AP.

My question is do you get a new I94 if you use AP to re-enter.

Could someone please verify this.

Thanks

NO 94 with AP

I just travelled to India and came back on AP since I dont have H1 stamped on my passport. I did not get any I 94 when I entered the States with AP.

Hope this helps.
