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.
