    The situation could be different in the case where H1B is extended while in US.

    I was under the impression that once I-485 was submitted, if AP is not used for traveling, the application is deemed abandoned. Is that true?

    In the most recent news letter from Ron Gotcher, the following is stated. Is it really 1 in 4 get rejected? That sounds like too many. In my circle of friends, I never heard anyone who faced any sort of issue with 485... Does everyone share the same opinion?

    "Statistically, the approval rate for adjustment of status last year was approximately 75%. One application in four was denied. For consular processing, the approval rate was above 99%."

    I will answer within my knowledge...
    1. Once you use AP, the H1B is gone canceled
    2. If AOS is denied, you should leave if on AP/EAD or even on 140 extended H1B ( there is a bill which might change this soon and allow to complete the current H1B term even it is extended on 140)
    3. Even when during 485, it is not necessary to travel on AP if you have H1b stamp

    let me try to break this apart:
    "if we travel using AP, the i-94 issued at POE does not correspond to H1B - I guess." -- irrespective of what method you use to travel out/into the country a new I-94 is given at POE( white card) that has a expiry date printed on it depending on which document you submit.( H1B's expiry or AP's expiry). I don't see a point of confusion here?

    "In that case, if for some reason the I-485 is denied, (assuming the H1B is still valid), do we have to go out of the country and get the VISA stamped and a new i-94 for that H1B at POE?" -- YES. if your 485 is denied, I assume you wouldn't use your AP to travel anyways, right?

    "I was under the impression that once I-485 was submitted, if AP is not used for traveling, the application is deemed abandoned. Is that true?" -- No. you can use h1b or AP it's totally your choice. Applying AP is totally optional.

    so if you have a valid ead/ap do you still need a valid h-1b visa stamped on your passport for re-entry to US? sorry it is too confusing for me

    LOL....LOL

    Now serious stuff, late registration of BC could be for various reasons. You should know the reason for late registration of your BC much better.

    If your BC registration is not within the year of your birth you have to provide two affidavits along with the BC that was registered later. If there is no BC then you should provde a NABC.

    This should help:

    Answer to your question is NO. Both are mutually exclusive.

    EAD/AP OR H1B, its is up to you to decide which one you want to use. You can continue on H1 ( even though you apply for EAD/AP and get them, i don't see any reason why wouldn't want to apply, it is the same cost).

    EAD is used to authorise you to work. If your current H1 expires and you decide to contiunue with the same employer you can either file for an extension of H1 or start using the EAD. if you decide you want to move to another employer (after 180 days of applying for 485) you can use AC21 (& EAD) to join him.

    AP is a travle document, for those who wanted to avoid H1 stamping in home country can travle using AP and reenter using AP. If you have valid H1 visa you can use that too if you wanted. If you use AP you would be called a Parolee. If you use a valid H1 visa you would be called H1 visa holder. It is upto you what you wanna use.

    "so if you have a valid ead/ap do you still need a valid h-1b visa stamped on your passport for re-entry to US?" --> NO NEED. AP is good for travel.

    I agree with your answer "NO". But both(Ap & H1b visa) are not mutually exclusive, you can have/hold both at the same time.

    I think he meanat that they are not dependent on each other.

    makes sense. I read it as if A is true, B is automatically false and viz

    I have a question regarding the prior year tax returns requested by my attorney. Do we have to usually provide just the 1040 form which the 2 pages or have to provide the entire 20+ pages given by turbotax which includes all the worksheets and supplemental forms?

  18. #1418
    He may need a copy of your W2 as well as the Tax return. I gave the entire Turbotax thing. Again, Tax return is not one of the documents required, but often submitted by the lawyers.

    Some attorneys request and some don't. mine didn't ask for it. Reading through the forums and stuff, made me feel that it has got to do with the size of the company.
    Technically not needed, but in order to beef up your application to prevent any RFE, attorneys might add this one too. My 2cents worth of knowledge on this topic

    In this case even if the AOS is denied, at the time of denial if the employee is working in H1b(extended using I-140) , then he could continue his employment till the end of H1b period with a chance to apply fresh GC also

    Guys ..... my lawyer had answer H1 and AP by saying that
    "Even if you use AP..... you are still considered on H1." Basically unless H1 is expired or one explicitely starts using EAD, H1 status doesn't go away just because you entered using AP.

    Hope this helps.

    Teddy, I didn't want to say this, as I was not sure, just gut feeling, but I would agree with you and like to disagree with some posters who suggested that this update of coming soon happens on the 1st day of the month itself always. I think it tends to happen 3-4 days before the VB release.
