回複：律師的說法與論壇大家的說法不同，請白兔，老師證實一下。

Your background status is AOS after sub-mitting 485, no matter you use AP or not.For example,after 485, you can still stay after H1 expires. If you get an H1 stamp, you will resume H1 status. Now is what you are told AOS/H1. However, you will see debates everywhere on forums on this issue, a gray area for interpretation. Even some lawyers still insist that after using AP, H1 will be lost. What should you do?

In principle, USCIS should give you 3 year if your 140 approved, 485 pending with PD backlogged. However, it's not a surprise to get only one year. Different officer interprets on a different way. It's not a must on practice.

• 感謝大家的幫助.再問:如果485被拒,不管用過AP或EAD,隻要H1還有效,申請人還是可以在美合法以H1工作.對嗎? -morningcall- ♂ (101 bytes) () 01/14/2008 postreply 10:17:23

• PJIANG老師, 我理解用過EAD後H1失效，485被拒out of status。問題是，還可不可以用H1簽回來？ -poli08- ♂ (113 bytes) () 01/14/2008 postreply 12:42:39
