I am going to apply the H1-B visa in Mexico,
but a question just came up my mind.
I am hold H1-B visa now, and my I-485 is pending.
I have Advanced parole.
If everything is ok, I'll use the approved H1-B to return US.
But if my H1-B gets denied, I have to use AP to return.
Question is, can I still maintain an H1-B status, and still use H1-B for the same company, even my H1-B visa is denied? And if it is the case, can I still extend my H1-B afterwards?
Are the H1-B visa and H1-B status the same thing?
many thanks!
