第三，是否我们也可以马上在2月1日递交485申请，等待ap和ead，这样我lp就可以不再依赖h1b了，可以从从容容的找工作了呢？
-My suggestion is that she had better not file I-485 at this point and look for a job at least until May 2012. Also, as long as her I-94 is valid, she still can stay in US legally without a status for < 180 days without affecting the I-485 filing. So, she may not need to file I-485 before May 2012 unless she find a job before that date.
************************************************************************** 8老师，请继续回答一个问题。Also, as long as her I-94 is valid, she still can stay in US legally without a status for < 180 days without affecting the I-485 filing.为什么呢？现在LP目前工作还没有找到，H1b 5月9号到期（personal leave休完了）。 为了保绿卡，我LP是否需要回国去等到10月份我的H1b生效才能返回美国。
是真的吗？为什么可以没有身份也能呆<180天？请原谅我们的啰嗦。我等小民害怕不小心就违法了。LP的H1b是不久前extension的，到2014年7月有效。再次感谢8老师。
