Hi Members,
I am currently on H1 in US since June 2014 and has a valid stay till May 2016. My wife and a baby also accompanying me here. I am planning to file H1B for my wife and have few questions for which I am seeking answers.
1. I have learned that I can file H1B for my wife under Change of Status rather consular process. Can I file that anytime in the year or during certain pre-defined period like we have for regular H1B?
2. Considering I am going to file for COS, does She need to go through regular quota (CAP)?
3. Can She start working on H1B as soon as her petition/VISA got approved?
4. We are also planning to visit India next year. What would be the best way to plan a trip, before starting COS process or We can start COS and plan in between but before getting H1B approval?
Is there any consequences or things to keep in mind if I plan my travel to India?
Please suggest. Thanks..
