  • H4 to H1.. Travel to India and stamping reqd.. URGENT HELP reqd

    I am on H4 visa and applied for H1b this year.
    I am planning to go to India after I know the result. I am expecting to know the result by April End(Applied it in Premium Processing)
    Assuming I get my Visa, Can I travel to India on H4 and come back on H4. (probable dates to go is in May and return in June or July)
    I have to get my stamping done for H4 as I have the stamping till oct 2013.
    Will I face any issues during stamping>
    Will my H1b remain the same. I read about Change of status (though didn't get understand much of it), will the COS get voided .

    Another query is My Husband's H1b visa is valid until Oct 2014. He will be applying an extension in July.
    I have to go for stamping on the existing visa , which is valid until Oct 2014.
    If I go for stamping in May , will they give the stamping for only 5 months?
    Will I face any issues in the consulate because of my H1b visa ?
    Please give your inputs.

      Re posting with bulleted format..

      I am on H4 visa and applied for H1b this year.
      I am planning to go to India after I know the result. I am expecting to know the result by April End(Applied it in Premium Processing)
      Assuming I get my Visa,
      1. Can I travel to India on H4 and come back on H4. (probable dates to go is in May and return in June or July)
      I have to get my stamping done for H4 as my current stamping was until Oct 2013
      2. Will I face any issues during stamping , as I have to go for stamping on the existing visa , which is valid until Oct 2014.
      3. Will I face any issues in the consulate because of my H1b visa ?
      4. Will my H1b remain the same.
      5. I read about Change of status (though didn't get understand much of it), will the COS get voided .

        Your two statements contradict each other:

        I have to get my stamping done for H4 as my current stamping was until Oct 2013

        Will I face any issues during stamping , as I have to go for stamping on the existing visa , which is valid until Oct 2014.

        Which one is correct? Till when is your H4 visa valid? Till when is your current H4 I-94 valid? If your husband's H1 is valid till Oct 2014 how come your H4 is valid only till Oct 2013?
