Guys,

I am in the similar boat. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I did my Bachelor's..started working in IT company...applied H1B twice...didn't go through lottery both times. I am working in CPT now and it's more than 6 months that I have applied for Asylum..its pending. I haven't yet applied for EAD through Asylum(which I am eligible now). I am planning to work on CPT and my employer is again applying for H1B this time through CPT. What happens if I get H1B this time? Do I have to go through consular section as well? Any suggestions/advice in this tough situation would be appreciated.

If they asked me to go to consular section for H1b, can I deny and apply for EAD though asylum?

Thanks,
