H1B Amendment and EAD

[squid]

Hi,
Hi,

I am curently working on H1B. I was working in X location and moved to Y location. My company filed for H1b amendment in Jan. I am waiting for the amendment to be approved.

Meantime, my spouse's company has applied for GC. We will receive EAD card shortly.

Now, my questions are :

1. Can I relocate back to "X location" while H1B amendment is in process ?
2. If I get RFE for amendment, Can the company withdraw H1B amendment petition as I can work on EAD ?
3. Will RFE for amendment affect EAD/GC in future ?
4. Will the duration I worked in "Y location" be considered as illegal if I get RFE ?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

Seniors please help me.....

I am currently working in Location Y on H1.

I moved from Location X to Location Y in Sep 2011 and my company has applied for the H1B amendment in Jan 2012. It is still in the processing stage. Meantime, my spouse's company had applied for I-485 for both of us. Since we are staying in two different states, I have received RFE for I-485. Hence, I am planning to move back to Location X.

The concerns I have now are :

1. Can the company withdraw the Amendment petition now so that I can move back to Location X ? In that case, will my stay in Location Y from Sep 2011 till date is considered out of status or illegal ?

2. I have EAD where my spouse is the Primary applicant. Can I move from H1 to EAD without working while Amendment is pending and RFE for I-485 ? If yes, I understand that I need to resign and then move to EAD. Do I need to fill out a form or somthing to move from H1 to EAD ?

3. Since I have received RFE for I-485, will transferring from H1 to EAD and working on EAD be considered illegal if I-485 is denied ?

4. Will converting to H4 be the best option by withdrawing the H1B amendment ? However, I understand that this might take upto 4 to 6 months and there is no PP too for H1 to H4.

Thanks so much.
