I usually spend some time every day at my San Francisco Bay Area immigration law office making inquires on pending cases. It is a frustrating process because I rarely receive answers and when I do, they usually are not helpful.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has recently released guidance on how to make inquiries at their Service Centers (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/USCIS%20update.pdf). They provide a three step process. The first step is to call their National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. If the issue is not resolved in 30 days, you proceed on to the next step which is to email the USCIS Service Center where your case is pending. The email addresses are:
California Service Center csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov Vermont Service Center vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov Nebraska Service Center ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov Texas Service Center tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (tsc.ncsfollowup@dhs.gov)
If there is no response to the email, you proceed to the last step which is to notify the USCIS Headquarters office of Service Center Operations by email at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov. The notice indicates that you will receive a response from this email within ten days.
It remains to be seen whether this system actually works. I will try it out in a few cases and will report back what happens.

anybody please...
Many threads here are on this, you've got to look for it and read. You've asked a question that has been asked and answered many times. That is why nobody has answered your questions.
In brief, you can use AP to come back, and work with H1B for the company who filed your H1B petition, and you can extend or transfer your H1B as well. You can also work on EAD for anyone you want, but you cannot come back to H1B.
There is more on other threads that will make you feel more positive about these answers, and helpful info on traval with AP.

Below is what I think to your three case scenario:
Case 1: According to the USCIS's rule of last action, whichever petition or application came out last is your new non-immigrant status. So if your H1b transfer gets approved first and then your H-1B -> F1 gets approved, you are in F-1, or vice versa. But then if your first H1B has already expired before you turn in your F-1 application, it gets a little complicated. In that case, the F-1 application cannot be approved before the H1B transfer is approved.
case 2: If your first H1B is still valid, then it is ok if your H1B transfer is denied. If your first H1B is expired already before your submit your F-1 application, and your H1B transfer gets denied, you could be out of status.
case 3: If your H1B transfer is approved, and F-1 application is denied, you are still in H1B.
There is an article discussing authorized stay and authorized status which relates to your questions: Differences Between “Authorized Status” and “Authorized Stay” (http://www.us-immigrationvisa.com/article/differences-between-authorized-status-and-authorized-stay)

Unfortunately, looks like it does not matter what visa is being sought. My wife applied for H4 with PhD in Pharmaceutics.

Query on behalf of a friend -
What are the timelines for I-539 Change of Status for H1 to H4?
Is premium processing option available for the this change of status?
Friend worked till last week of pregnancy (clean H1 history before). Her 12 weeks of maternity leave is ending soon and looks like the family needs to pay attention to child's condition and she has no choice but to become a full-time mom (another full-time job in itself though). She was in status during her maternity leave (some part of which was covered by STD insurance, remaining unpaid leave totaling 12 weeks under FMLA). She needs to change her status from H1 to H4.
- File for H1-H4 ASAP with in the unpaid leave window
- No premium processing available for H4

What I understand is that, your spouse can apply for H1, but not "change of status" while on EAD/adjustee. The establishment of H1 status for your spouse is possible only via an entry using H1 visa.
So your spouse can wait in USA for the H1 approval notice and then travel outside USA for consular processing.
Anyway, it may not worth all this pain, since she can continue using EAD.
Thanks for the response, but does that means anybody who is on EAD cannot apply for H1B while in US ?

Dealsnet is correct. Your wife should have no problem entering if she has a valid AP.
Thank You, Anne
Really appreciate your response.

Hi,
I have a valid H4 stamping till Sept 2010. I got my H1B approved last year(2009) and COS from H4 to H1 approved. My H1B was effective October 1, 2009. Due to recession, I still have not been able to find a job. Now I want to change my status back to H4.
As I have a valid H4 stamping on my passport, can I travel across the border to Mexico, surrender my H1B I94 and reenter the US with a new H4 I94? Is that possible? Can that be done on the same day? Or should I apply for a COS - Form I539 and get it done here?
Please respond at the earliest.
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
I got a D80 a little while ago, and am slowly learning how to use it. I used to use my dads D70, but decided that it was time for a DSLR of my own. Anyone have any tips or tricks that they have found along the way?

Hi friends,
Based on the predictions for the November 7th 2006 elections for the House, looks like the democrats will grab a considerable amount of seats,
viz - Democrats - around 228, Republicans - 205
What do you guys think based on this? I hope starting from January 2007, there should be some light.
Thinking ahead, We should work with the democrats, rather than republicans. Citizens of US, who immigrated from India should vote for Democrats and make them win this elections.
Thanks
Satish

Note that EAD is not a valid document for re-entry.
If you have a valid AP - you can re-enter
or
If you have a valid H1/H4 AND un-expired visa stamping - you can re-enter
I had my H1 extension pending and I was able to re-enter using AP (on July 18, 2008 at San Francisco)
She has the F1 stamped on the passport which is valid until Dec 2009 I think. She is finishing much before that. Does it mean she will not be able to reenter on either F1 visa or the EAD?
