My NIW 485 is pending, I have AP, but not EAD. My current H1B won't
expire until 2009. But I need to terminate my current employment for
3 months (not fired, no pay) and go to China for personal reasons.
Then I will be back and hired again by the same employer (a
University).

Will my H1B still be valid for work when I am back? In other words,
can I have a gap between employment with the SAME employer?
Also, can I apply for H1 visa in China to come back? I know I
can use AP.

If there is a problem, is there anything my employer and I can do
in this case?

Thanks a lot.
