AOS Pending, Should H-1 be Renewed
Should H-1 be renewed while the AOS is pending?
Bottomline - I think H-1 should be renewed.
A little more info: A few months ago, I used to feel strongly that AOS applicants should keep their H-1 active for several reasons. Two of these are:
One, EAD issuance was erratic and CIS had discontinued issuance of interim EAD's (that is, if in 90 days your EAD is not issued, you could walk with a infopass appointment to your local CIS office and get an EAD). Thus, EAD's were unreliable and given for only a year. You could have interruptions in your work.
We are grateful to Mr.Rajiv Khanna ji , Kalpana ji and the team that worked on our son's fiancée's K-1 Visa .
The support and guidance through the process was very professional. They worked directly with my son and his fiancée who joins him next week as she received her Visa successfully. They were gracious enough to work with us patiently and help us through our mistakes while giving them the required information to file his case.
We would recommend them to anyone who needs help with Immigration. They are definitely experts and they work with you on your issues and the end result is a positive one. Our experience working with them was very pleasant and positive.
Thank you Rajivji and Kalpanaji
