Hi ,

Im on H4 EAD which is valid until Sept,2018. I found an employer( not with whom Im working ), He can file my H1B in Apr,2017 lottery. I know that he will file my H1B with COS from H4 to H1B in lottery. Im travelling to India in March last week for one month. I got below questions:

1.  If my H1B is picked in the lottery  . Then earlier COS filed with the H1B petition will become invalid ( because I have travelled and got new I-94  ?

2. Once H1B is approved then Does H1B employer has to file H4 to H1B COS again ( because I have travelled and got new I-94 )  ?

2. If my H1B and COS ( H4 to H1B) is approved before Oct 2017 or after Oct,2017. Then once COS is approved I could not work on H4 EAD and have to work with the new H1B employer ?


3 Can H1B be filed in lottery without COS for a person who is on H4 EAD in US ??

4 . If H1B is picked in a lottery and approved. Can COS be filed later in order to work on H1B ??  


Response is appreciated !!!
