Can I do a second job using GC EAD which I recently got and continue working for sponsored employer on H1B (unexpired I-797) for not more than 6 months? i am being told that this actually would void H1B status. I'm fine with it (moving to AOS status) as long as i do that secondary job until I-797 with current employer expires. But will it cause any issues with AOS whenever priority date becomes current ?

H-1B renewal after using GC EAD for I-9 verification
You can extend the H-1B without an I-94. Then, go get a visa stamp to reactivate your H-1B.
