  • Travelling outside US with I-485 receipt on expired H1/H4 stamping

    Hi,

    I am on an H1 visa and my wife on an H4 visa. We got our H-status recently extended for the 3 years beyond the original 6 year period. However the H-stamping on our passports have expired.

    We applied for our I-485's in july and recently got the receipts. We have not received the approved EAD/AP yet.

    We want to travel to india in december.

    Given this background, the questions I have are:

    1. Will I be able to secure a H1 and H4 stamping for me and my wife respectively if I travel outside the country? Are there any problems associated with that? I have heard some claims/rumors that travelling on H4 without AP/EAD is equivalent to abandoning your AOS and it is apparently ok to do so with an H1.
    2. Would I be jeopardizing mine and/or my wife's AOS application by leaving the country and entering it with a valid H-visa and I-485 receipt?
    3. What is more advisable, Getting the H-stamping in India or in Vancouver or in Mexico?

    Any information that you can provide regarding this subject would be useful.

    Thanks,

    -Vishwas.
