Thanks shar533 for the response. I want to travel by road though and I do have a valid visa.
I just need to get a new I-94 that matches the date on my I-797. I did try local CBP office and they were not willing to change it. They wanted me to apply for I-539 to extend status. So I thought its easier and faster probably to cross the border and get a new I-94.
My question is, If I travel to Canada on my current H1-B to renew my I-94, does it invalidate my pending AP application. Anyone?
Thanks

Folks the solution is simple,
If you believe your wife is not interested in future employment atleast for the next 2 years then do not renew your EAD. (I say 2 yrs because EAD is given now for 2 yrs).
If you have stamping on her passport for h4 then no need for AP.
If the stamping on her passport for h4 has expired then apply for AP (since you can show AP and come back and still be on h4). This appln for AP has to be done atleast 3 months before you need it (consider processing time).
If your wife decides she has to start working then apply for EAD like 4-6 months before preferred emp start date.
I do not have EAD (but eligible to apply for one), still on h1b, visa expired have just AP, so if I need to go back to home land ill show AP and come back and still be on h1, hope this answers all your questions.

USCIS taught me a lesson about life.
Never go by rules. Find shortcuts.

As soon as you use EAD you will lose h1b for sure.......Moonlighting is something you would want to explore but the way USCIS explains it and define it.......it might be a big risk to take by using EAD but this is just me........
