Hello Experts,

I recently received Combo card (EAD/AP)from family based petition filed by my brother.

I cannot get green card unless the priority date become current ( actually it went back couple of years during my application process).

On the other side I have valid H1B and I-140 is approved from company base immigration petition. Now my company is going to apply for my H1B extension.

Is that legal to get H1-B extension for next three years (to be on safe side) in parallel with family based COMBO card ? just want to make sure it will not hurt my pending family based I-485 application or my status & work history here in US.

Please advice.

Thanks very much.

Yes that is fine for your company to file H1B extension. It should not affect your sibling petition. For your sibling petition AOS, you will just need to make sure you remain in legal status the entire time you are in the U.S. or wait outside of the U.S. if there comes a point where you cannot remain in legal status. If you fall out of status while waiting for your priority date, the AOS will be denied.
