不影响H1

我的理解是如果我用了AP入境，就自动丧失了H1身份。

使用AP不会丧失H1b身份。只是双重身份而已。

请问
1． 如果在我离开美国前（五月底前）H1延期已经得到批准（我的理解是新的开始日期应该是在八月1日），如果用了AP返美入境， 是不是新延期了的H1就自动作废了？

不会。你的H1仍然有效而且是双重身份。回来后，94卡虽然只有1年。以后出境时候递回94卡，重新AP入境还是继续拿到1年。所以是为什么不少律师建议以后用AP入境，H1工作。以后你的H1仍可延期.


2． 如果我的雇主在我离开美国前（或之后）开始申请我的H1延期，并且我在七月底之前回美国，八月份以后我可不可以继续用延期后的H1工作？也就是说，申请H1延期（或加上批准）时我本人不在美国， 合法吗？用了AP后，新的H1还有效吗？

因为不是change of status.所以出境不会使H1失效。

明天你还可以重贴一遍让PJiang看看。

The current rule is that the H-1B aliens who return to the U.S. using Advance Parole will be able to resume the employment authorization which is inherent in the H-1B status inasmuch as the following conditions are met: (1) The employment is resumed with the same H-1B employer. (2) The H-1B approval must remain valid, even though one does not need a valid H-1B visa stamp. Once the H-1B validity expires, so does the employment authorization. Such an alien cannot continue employment unless he/she obtains either EAD or extension of H-1B status. The H-1B alien is returning to the U.S. as a parolee when they use Advance Parole and their status remains a parolee and not a H-1B nonimmigrant, but current rule and policy allow such H-1B approved aliens two benefits pending finalization of its policy on this issue and release of a regulation. The first benefit is employment authorization during the period of valid H-1B approval even though his/her status is no longer H-1B. The second benefit is eligibility for extension of their H-1B status and resuming the H-1B status without leaving the country. Once extension is approved, the alien returns to the H-1B status. The approval of such H-1B extension is considered by the USCIS as revocation of the parolee status and reinstatement of the H-1B status. These travellers should make it sure that they have both valid H-1B approval paper and valid Advance Parole when they return from the trip. Again, the EAD is not necessary inasmuch as he/she has a valid H-1B approval. However, against the potential change of employment or loss of H-1B jobs, it will be always prudent that one keeps an EAD current all the time.
