H1-B EXTENSION + ABOUT TO APPLY FOR AOS

[siddireddi]

HI

My H1-B WILL BE VALID AUG-03. MY ATTOERNY WILL
APPLY FOR 485 BY END OF FEB.

COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE REGARDING h1-b EXTENSION.

Now Should i go for H1 EXTENSION OR SHOULD I WAIT

FOR EAD. ONE OF MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT WE CAN
GO AND GET EAD FROM LOCAL INS OFFICE AFTER 90 DAYS FROM AOS APPLIED DATE OR RECEIPT DATE.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH RISK INVOLED TO NOT TO FOR H1-B EXTENSION NOW.

THANKS
RAJ

H1 B Extn VS EAD

Hi Raj,

I would strongly suggest that you have your H1B extended and apply for EAD as well. Yu may continue working on H1B even if you have EAD.

The reason for this is that once you start working on EAD which is basically intent to immigration, you will have a very little chance of getting H1B again if you break the continuation and if some crazy policy makers decide to stop employment based immigration or if your case has some problems...

Extending H1B is a better no risk approach along with getting EAD ... per me...
