  • Is risky to travel to India after having applied for an H1

    Hi,

    I am currently on an H4 visa. I plan to visit India for a couple of months. I have applied for my H1 visa and am waiting for the results. Is it risky if I travel to India right now?

    Thank You

    A Change of Status from H4 to H1 is considered abandoned if a person travels outside US while the Change of Status is pending. So advisable to travel only after getting the H1 approval notice, and return before H1 start date .

    This is my opinion not legal advice.

      L1 to H1 Change of Status

      Hello

      I applied for H1 on Apr 2013 as a change of Status from L1 to H1.
      I got it approved on July 2013. I went to India in August for a week and came back.
      I entered on L1 with a new I-94. After I came back , I continued to work for the L1 employer till now . Now I want to start working for my H1 employer (my H1 petition was approved till 2017 but on old I94)

      Questions:
      1) What is my status now L1 or H1 ? Is there any way to find out
      2) Do i need to do a change of status again ? or only a I94 amendment?
