While the h4-EAD application is in process (already been over 8 months of wait), can one travel outside the US?

We were told te H4 applicant cannot travel during this time as travel outside the US means your case is co sundered abandoned.

They may have been referring to the I-539 application. In which case, yes, leaving the US while that is pending, will result in denial by abandonment. That in turn results in denial of the I-765 since it is contingent on the I-539.

But doesn’t work the same when the H-4 is already approved, and you file the I-765 alone.

Technically yes. But do you need to travel? Also, when does the H-4 status expire?

Do you have a valid H-4 visa? When does that expire?

Do you need to travel? Most immigration attorneys are advising against any travel unless it’s absolutely necessary. Pandemic related travel bans are still in effect.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
