h4 COS or H4 stamping in india

Recommended Posts

I have H4 visa as my wife dependent. My wife is currently working in U.S. with H1-B.
Now My H1-B petition got approved by a desi consultancy EVC model. 

I would like to travel on H4 to U.S. and apply for COS from H4 to H1-B. 

 My doubts are:
1. How long the COS process takes at current situation?
2. For COS, what documents my employer should provide?
3. which one do you suggest? 
    First travel on H4 and move to COS? or
    Try for H1B visa stamped in india itself and then travel?
    
4. Suppose if my H1B visa stamping is not successful then is my H4 valid ? can i travel with  h4 and again apply COS in usa?

1. 2 to 4 months.

2. He will ask you what is required.

3. Best is to try for H-1 visa and then travel. COS timeline is not predictable.

4. Unless the consulate cancels it. Yes.

As you suggest i will try for h1 stamping first in case if it fails i will travel on h4 then apply for COS to h1 in premium processing?  is this possible?
