Intent的签证包括有H1b, H1c, L1, O1。
H1期间，如果申请了485，出境之后，还可以用H1回来。当然，你也可以用AP，你的H1
arguably 仍然有效。O1，如果已经递交了485，就一定要用AP重新入境。

Discussion: EADs are all different depending on each program. For instance,
H-4EAD and L-2EAD do not affect the underlying H-4 and L-2 nonimmigrant
status. Therefore, when it comes to international travel, since you have a
valid nonimmigrant visa, you can just return with H-4 and L-2 visa stamp.
However, when you get I-140 EAD or I-485 EAD, it invalidates the underlying
nonimmigrant status. Therefore, when you make an international travel, you

，因为开始惧怕同时pp被送到杀手手里。咨询刘律师，他说不存在什么杀手，分配处理

发帖数: 32 | 36 关于H1B持有人是否使用AP、EAD的问题已经被问了无数次， 版主可不可以置顶一段时间。现在很多人都有EAD、AP但485还要1－2年才批，一个清晰的FAQ相信对大家都有益。
以下是我目前所了解的情况，有些地方我还有疑问，请大家补充，更正，我会及时更新：
以下先集中几个关键问题，一些常识以后补充：
（1）用了EAD，就是AOS，就不是H1B，不是non-immigrant了,这个大家都知道。
万一485出问题，你必须马上离开美国，这个虽然很麻烦但不可怕。
关键是Out of Status 的开始计算时间，因为这关系到3年/10年不得入境的条例。根据下面皮匠的blog以及他引用的USCIS的说明，OOS的开始时间是485被据那一天，而不是EAD使用的那一天。这样使用EAD就不用担心这个问题了。

（2）H1B的I-797还有效，但没有H1B visa stamp，使用AP入境，能不能保持H1B，如何做？
这个问题我不是十分清楚，但知道以下的情况：

DHS Proposes Work Authorization for H-4 Dependents
On May 11, 2014, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services proposed a rule that would allow certain H-4
dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants to apply for work authorization.
Under the proposition the availability of work authorization would be
limited to H-4 dependent spouses of principal H-1B nonimmigrants who are in

“in order to use the new AP document for reentry, you must receive the
document prior to departure. If you and your family leave the US prior to
receiving the new AP documents, you will need to obtain a valid visa stamp

发帖数: 114 | 42 B. Employment-Based Immigrant Visa Issuance
Many temporary nonimmigrant workers with approved employment-based immigrant
visa petitions wait years for visa numbers to become available so that they
may acquire LPR status—in large part due to statutory caps that have not
changed since 1990 and that no longer reflect the needs of U.S. businesses
and the U.S. economy. While waiting for these immigrant visas, many
nonimmigrant workers may be effectively prevented from changing jobs or

不过AC21 SEC. 105讲的就是H1B PORTABILITY
要是只要申请H1B都要重新占用名额和等到10/1开始

你就告诉律师让他研究一下下面AC21的H1B PORTABILITY RULE
