Dear All Specialists:
I have a special case here what confused me a lot. My background is as follows: I am currently in OPT as F-1 status. And as a spouse ( my hu*****and is a priciple I-485 applicant), my I-485 pending now and my employer applied the H-1b 2007 for me while my I-485 is pending. I was informed that my petition was approved. To my surprise, they said I cannot use this H-1B unless I withdraw my I-485 application. My questions are:
1) Do I have to withdraw my I-485 application and then get my H-1b efffective?
2) Do I have to leave US and re-enter US with the newly approved H-1b petition to re-enter US as H-1b visa status before Oct-01-2006 or after Oct-01-2006?
3) If I leave US and try to get the H-1b visa to re-enter US, does my I-485 is still effectively pending? Or I will lose my I-485 pending?
Thanks for your kind helps.
