Keeping H1B Status. Have EAD but not using it. Last AP expired in Jan 2010.
Got 221(g) Green slip for Background check.
Submitted required Docs and will hear within 10 to 12 weeks as per their email.
I work in Bio Research. Have been in similar research since last 6 years. Have Masters from US. Applied for GC (principal applicant) about 4 years ago. H1B status is good till July 2011. Never had any issue on visa stamping in the past. Have always been working. Just changed the research employer (one university to other university).
Newly applied AP has got approved. Will receive before the end of Jan, 2011 in US. I am stuck in my country. H1B background verification may take months. Can someone mail me the new AP and I use it to enter US without any issues or abandoning my 485 or H1B? Do I have to wait till the H1B stamping background check response?
If I can use my new AP, I hope I can still keep my H1B status and not hurt my 485 pending application and can apply for H1B extension after July 2011 so that I do not have use my EAD.
Any thoughts, suggestions, experiences ?
Please reply.
