Yep. Have been doing it all the time. Just don’t travel between the date of your interview and you actually having the Green Card

Thanks!

Yes of course

Always enter back on H1 even if you have AP

*pending

only with Advance Parole document right?

Nope. I always returned on my H1B. Safer too, because if something happens during your I140 / I485 process and it gets denied, you’re immediately out of status if you entered the country on the AP. If you entered on your H1B you’re still good, regardless of what happens to your GC application

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!
