Re: Please put my mind at ease
My question relates to the H1b visa. Is it is condition that you must work in the USA? For example, if it has been granted and the family is in the USA and is in the GC application process, can the H1b visa holder go and work outside the USA for their US employer? I would have thought the answer would be no. But maybe you can help. It's not my family.
-How far advanced are they in the GC process? Did they file for AOS?
-Are the dependents here on H-4? Or separate H-1? Or awaiting AOS?

Yes, and H1B visa holder can go work outside the US. The H1B does not become invalid. Now, for the family in question, we would need a few more details.

I remember us all signing something to request parole in case we needed to travel. But it sounds as if Lazzza's friend wants to work full-time outside the US.

Applying for EA is not a part of "the GC process". Applying for EA can be done in parallel with applying for adjustment of status, if one wishes to do so, but it is not necessary. Applying for EA can also be done under circumstances other than applying for adjustment of status.
Further, there is no "the" green card process. There is more than one way to obtain PR status, and a green card is simply an ID card that is issued to PR.
Mingling two different things as if they were inextricable causes confusion and leads to misunderstanding.
