Entry in USA few days before H1B expires
Hi
I am on last phase on GC processing and my H1B expires Oct 1. Can it
be a problem if I take a travel abroad and re-enter USA Sept 26 ( 4
days before expiration date) ?
Thank you,
Taras

Do you have an Advanced Parole? If not, depending on the stage you are in,
you may jeopardize your GC application. Did you file I-140?

As long as you haven't used any EAD you may have, you should be ok
(according to current BCIS regulations, you don't need AP if you have
a valid H1.) But you are cutting it close. If for some unforeseen
reason you have to delay your return you'd be in trouble.
If you have used an EAD, you are no longer on H1 and need AP.
