  • Travel on H4 while H1B is pending decision

    Hi,

    I'm on H4 visa in US valid till July 2017 (Both I94 and Visa ). My Employer is filing for my(fresh) H1B this April 1st, 2015. I have travel plans to India in August 2015(2 weeks) for personal reasons .

    Assuming my petition gets selected in lottery,

    1. Whats the best way for filing my fresh H1B petition- with or without COS? If its without COS, then do I need to go for stamping before I start work in Oct 2015?

    2. What will be the implications if my petition is still pending / Approved when I'm in India?

    3. What will be the procedure if I travel back on H4 in Aug 2015 and then to apply for change of status from H4 to H1B ? What will be time frame for this ? Can this be done in premium ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Is H1 being planned to be file in premium?

      No , As of now it would be regular Processing only. Would that be an issue?
