Hi,
My wife entered USA on H4 visa in 2012 and she converted her status to H1 in 2013. Now she want to change her status back to H4 due to some family issues and also need to travel often here after. Could some one let me know the best possible way to change the status. I read the below options on other threads, but need some more clarity on each option.
Option 1. Apply for a change of status (I539) while in USA. I heard that now it is taking 3 to 6 months time.
Option 2. Travel back to India and appear for H4 visa interview.
(Spouse is on H1 with approved I140)
We would like to opt in for the second option if we have to, as she may need to travel some time in May or June. Please let me know which option is best and also what steps we need to follow in this process.
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide
