I agree with adekhne. This is what my lawyer told me also. When I travel next year I will not have H1 stamp in my passport but will have an approval notice. My lawyer told me to travel on AP and the approval notice.
I have another scenario for you guys. My wife is working on student EAD with her employer which will expire in June 2008. She could not get an H-1 in this years quota, so she will apply next year on April 1. By the time her student EAD expires, she should have H1-B approval notice, however she will be out of status from June to October. Question is, can she work on EAD for those 4 months and then use H1 from October? Means student EAD to AOS EAD to H1-B for the same employer.
The reason I am asking this is that I do not want her to go on H4 status or leave the country for those 4 months. Comments? Thanks
