I plan to initiate h4 ead application, travel out and then comeback to US on an L1 visa while my H4 EAD Application is pending. Is that possible?

If I have an h4 ead application pending and I enter US on an L1 visa, (thus changing my status from H4 to L1)

Will my H4 EAD Application be denied / abandoned?

    OP
    advise is to be in US to respond to any possible RFE in a timely manner, no restriction to fly out.
    If you are engaging a lawyer, they could respond to your RFE,

    I can always fly back in personally if needed,
    Yes, i will be outside for L1,
    I am asking if i enter on an L1 visa, will my pending H4 ead have any effect as my active status won't be H4 any more

  • Lawyers advise to be in the US while EAD is pending. But for L1 you need to be outside the US at least for an year to be eligible . So these are contradictory IMO.
