I prefer to use AP to save some hassle to stamp H1 if that's safe. My confusion is that my lawyer and some people online think I will jeopardize my H1 transfer if I use my AP to come back, then apply H1 transfer.
However, it seems that Pijiang laoshi thinks I am safe to use AP, no matter I apply H1 transfer before or after go back home. Btw, I don't plan to work for old company at all after coming back to U.S. I'll start working for new company on the 2nd day of coming back.
Thanks again for all your help.
