Help! Cannot apply for H1B while 485 pending?! tidytiger2007-11-12 15:53:39

Hi,

I have filled I485. (My hu*****and is the primary applicant.) However, the case has been stuck at FBI for more than 2 years. I have recently got a job so I want to apply for H1B. The laywer of my employer claims that it cannot be done. See the follow message:

"She cannot obtain H-1B for the first time during the adjustment of
status process. If she wants to be separate from her hu*****and, she would
have to withdraw her pending adjustment of status and THEN file for
concurrent H-1B's. "

Is this true?

这律师看来对移民法没有什么经验；但事实上如果你只有aos身份的话

律师说的不对，你可以申请H-1B，不会影响你的 I-485

白兔说的那一方面也是正确的

你为何不用EAD哪? 雇主有时会觉的

实际上也对，但说得不清楚。

不对的地方在这里：楼主并不需要放弃I-485就可以转成H-1

回复：不对的地方在这里：楼主并不需要放弃I-485就可以转成H-1

AP re-apply?

实际上只要事先申请了AP离境就不会被认为放弃了I-485 pending

you can apply AP anytime if your I-485 still pending
