Can I Still Travel with my H1 after EAD approval and jobchange?
Ladies and Gs. I am a H1 holder married to a USC. My notice date is June 26, 2006 and my H1 is good through August of next year. I am currently waiting on my EAD so that I can get a much better paying job (like many H1 holders, I have been restricted from advancing due to the difficulties in finding H1 sponsors). My question now is that if I change jobs using my EAD will this automatically cancel my H1 visa? Cant I use it to travel?
Thanks for all your advice and support, you guys are really helpful and I hope that we all are able to achieve the peace of mind we are striving for with our immigration applications.

After using EAD and changing job, you can not travel on your H1. Your H1 will get canceled. You can not have the cake and eat it too.
I agree with amishah.
Ok, so that means one will have to apply for one of those travel paroles? Am I correct? If so, how do those work? Are they for one particular trip and does one have to specify a particular date when filling out the forms. Lastly, how long does is the processing time for those?
Thanks
