Hi,
I have some questions about Employer Change and Traveling.
Some background about my Immigration status:
I'm on a valid H1-B visa right now. My visa is valid till Sep 2015 (visa not stamped). My employer applied for Employment based GC (EB-2 category), my I-140 is approved and the priority date is Dec'2011 but currently for Indian citizens EB-2 date is 15NOV04 from the latest March visa bulletin.
I got married last year Aug' 2013 and my wife is a Green Card holder. I applied for family based Green Card under F2-A category (Concurrent applications I130, I131, I765, I485). My I485 is pending for GreenCard Testing/Interview and the other applications are approved. I received my EAD(and Advance parole) and it's valid from Dec2013 to Dec2014. Below are my questions:
1) Can I travel to India/US using my Advance parole without H1-B stamping?
2) Can I change my employer using the new EAD (family based GC)?
3) If I change my employer using the new EAD, what's going to happen to my H1-B visa and the Employment based Green Card (EB-2), are they still valid?
4) After I start working for the new employer, If my family based GC gets rejected (happens rarely), what's going to happen to my Immigration status?
Thanks for help.
