Hello All,
I'm in a very curious dilemma. Let me try to explain my predicament.
My wife has been in the US on a H4 visa since Jan, 2013. We applied for a H1 through a consultant and she got through the lottery.
We had made travel plans to India to leave on 7/30/14 through to 8/27/14 to attend a wedding in the family. My H1 was recently extended and we will have to go for visa stamping while in India. I was advised by the attorney that my wife's CoS would not take effect until 9/1/14 and we could get her H4 stamping done. We were hoping that her H1 would have been approved by the travel date, however, unfortunately she got an RFE on 6/23. I was thinking of cancelling the India travel as a result.
The RFE response has still not been sent. My consultant now advises us to upgrade to premium to get a response/approval by our travel date. Does any one reckon that would be feasible? I already stand to lose the flight tickets since they are non-refundable, don't know if it's practical to invest more money on the premium processing given that there is only 2 weeks left for departure.
Thanks,
Roshan
