H1b stamping for candidate with past b1 visa
Hi,

Please help me if anyone has faced similar situation.

I first came to US on B1 for a convention/ training and business event and stayed for 5 months. During this time my employer filed h1 and it got approved and applied for Change of status. In total I've stayed for about 8 months on b1 status in a single year ( 5 months first time visit + 2.5 months second time visit).
My first h1 is renewed and valid till July 2021. Now I'm in India and need to get stamped to go back.

Would there be any risks associated with my profile during my interview. Is there anyone who faced similar situation of change of status from b1 to h1 after spending long time in b1. I genuinely stayed for training and business events during b1.
Pls help.
