Is it allowed to go from EAD to H1B?

[pradhan]

- I have completed 6 years with H1B and instead of
doing H1B 1 year incremental renewals
moved to EAD(which is on the basis of
future employment). So now I don't have
any H1B status.

I want to change my employer on EAD
(fulfilling EAD 180days with GC sponsor company,
with same job title/job description and subsequent
AC21 memo).

New employer can ONLY hire me with H1B.
- I am not sure if it is possible to get H1 when I am
already on EAD.

- If it is allowed, will it be H1B 1 year incremental
renewal? or altogether new H1B.

- If I opt to goto new employer on H1B

1) what happens to my EAD,AP and GC approval? Will they be
processed in parallel?

2) Do I need to go back to India for H1B stamping?

3) Any objection from USCIS for I485 approval
because I moved from EAD to H1B?

4) Any other adverse effects on my GC processing?


Appreciate any inputs on this.

Thanks in advance
