Hi all,
I am on H4 dependent visa and i-94 till March 2015 but my visa stamp has expired .Now my previous employer is filing my H1B petition this April 2014 . I am aware that my H1B visa status will start only on Oct 1st 2014. But I need to travel to India in July 2014 and will be back in USA in Aug 2014 for family reasons.
If Considered my H1b is approved before I leave to India / while I am in India, I have following doubts so can you help answer them?
1. Is it recommended to come back to USA in H4 visa ? or
2. Go for stamping in India for my H1b and then return to USA on H1B? but return to USA will be in Aug 2014?
3. If I come back to USA on H4 will there be any problem starting my H1B employment in Oct?
4. What is COS?
Greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
