Question #10: I have applied for I-485, before applying, my H1-B was valid till 09-2001. Will the H-1B Will still be valid till 09-2001?

Carl Shusterman: The INS issued regulations concerning H and L visa holders who applied for Adjustment of Status in June 1999.

Basically, when you applied for Adjustment of Status, you had a choice:

You could either remain on H-1B status, or you could apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole. Unless you used your EAD and Advance Parole, your H-1B status is valid until the date specified on your form I-94.
