I am an employee of an Indian company. I came to US on an assignment in February 2005 on H1 visa. My H1 via was suppose to expire on June 9th 2007. I applied for H1 Extension which was filed with uscis in February 2007. I left US in March 2007.
I returned back to US after a month in April 2007; this time on L2 visa since I was on leave.
Me and my husband both are employee of same company.
I received papers of H1 petition and extension which I had filed before leaving US. This petition has an expiry date of May 2009.
I obtained EAD in October, 2007 and starting working in November 2007 for the same company. Now my EAD is going to expire on June 28, 2008. Given a choice I want to work on H1 rather than on EAD.
My question is :- The H1 petition with expiry date of May 2009 is that still valid or not. Can I go back to India and get H1 stamping done and return back to US and work. Or in this entire process at some stage my H1 petition got invalidated.
Thanks for your help in advance. Please let me know if you need any other additional information.
