I came to US on H4 and i have been working on H4 EAD. My Employer has filed H1B(along with COS) last year(2017), which got picked in lottery but still in processing(as of Mar 20,2018. Note: I got an RFE, which was replied in Nov 2017).
Since the application is still in processing and taking very long time, my employer would like to file another H1B for fiscal year 2019.
How safe is it to apply while there is one already in processing?
I would like to plan for India trip in May 2018. If i step out of the country, i need to go stamping because my H4 stamping was only till 2017 but my visa is valid till 2020.
Question1: If i let my Employer file H1 again for fiscal year 2019, can i travel to India ? this time with out filing COS?
Question2: I read that if i travel while COS pending , my COS that was filed along with H1 in 2017 will be abandoned. In that case, can i travel to India and go to stamping to get my H4 visa
stamped ?
What are the consequences if my H1B gets approved/denied while i am in India.
Thanks for your inputs in Advance.
