H1b amendment denied...h1 to h4 COS
Need urgent help...
My h1b amendment with my present client got denied. According to the denial letter I still have my h1b, only amendment is denied. Now currently I am not working. I have plans to visit India in a month so don't want to look for new clients rite now. My plan is to get back to US on H4 and after coming back my employer will refile my case with a new client.
There are two options with me now..
1. Apply for H1 to H4 COS now, and my employer will immediately stop my payroll.
2. No h1 to h4 COS...but my employer is ready to run my payroll till April 20 ( I am traveling to India on April 20). So while leaving US I will tear my current H1 i-94 (i.e surrender my h1) and enter back US on May 20 with H4. I have got h4 stamped in my passport till 30th of July 2015.
I don't want to go for 1st option because I may get a RFE asking for the delay in applying COS and don't want to get into any denial or any other trouble which will make situation more complex.
So I want to head with 2nd option of surrendering H1 at port of departure and enter back US with my H4. So with this, will I maintain a clean status in USA..?
My employer will run my payroll only till April 20, so between April 20 and May 20 when I am in India my employer is not running my payroll. So is it fine or should he run my payroll until May 20 till I get back on H4..?
Please help...

H 4 Visa re stamping
Hi
I have switched employer and the new employer is filing the H1 transfer petition. My spouse and kid are in India and willing to join me in US. I want to know whether they can enter on the same H4 visa they already have from my previous employer or do they have to wait till the new petition is approved.
In short can the dependents enter the states if there visa is valid and the primary visa holder would have changed jobs?
A quick response will help in a big ay

H1B Interview Exp @ Hyderaba Consulate
Hi Everyone,
Here's my experience with H1B interview experience @ Hyderabad, last week of Feb'15.
Me: Good morning Sir
Consular: (Requested for passport)
Consular: Who's your petitioner?
Me: Answered
Consular: What will be your salary?
Me: Answered
Consular: Who will be your client?
Me: It's an in house project, I'll be working from the petitioner's location.
Consular: What project you will be working on?
Me: On multiple projects. (He asked not to be so generic. So, he asked me to describe the project. He discussed with me the nature of business for a while. Such as how that product will be delivered to clients and how exactly that application is configured etc.)
Consular: Your visa is approved (and retained my passport).
The consular officer was quite friendly person and overall experience was great. There was a long waiting period. My appointment was at 9:00 AM. I went in at 8:45 AM, but got done only by 10:45 AM. The whole of interview took very less time, but the waiting was long. The processes are highly streamlined. Kudos to them.
Hope you all the best!

H1b visa interview EAC model Mumbai
Hi,
I would like share my H1b visa interview experience at Mumbai consulate. I work in EAC model and working in USA since last 7 years. I had my visa interview on 23rd Feb 2015. Here are questions visa officer asked:
VO: Good morning
Me: Good mornong, how are you doing?
VO: I'm doing good. So what do you do for YYYY (my employer)
ME: I'm working as YYYY (My role as mentioned in petition and letters, I also explained bit of my job responsibilities)
VO: Where do you work? At employer's location or client side?
ME: I work at Client;s location.
VO: Who is your client?

VO: What are your job responsibilities there?
ME: I explained same which I answered earlier above.
