archana_alatkar Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Hi, My COS from H1 to H4 along with EAD application was applied in March and in processing status. Now I got a job offer and I am not sure if a normal H1btransfer will do or wait for H4 approval. I have an approved I 140. Please let me know in case of waiting for H4 approval is their any other way to expedite the process? thanks!
pontevecchio Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Unfortunately H1 petition approvals are taking a long time. If a company files your H1 petition you can leave after approval and return with the H1 visa thus circumventing the existing COS to H4. Even if the decision comes after your H4 COS approval, you can leave and return with the H1 visa.
archana_alatkar Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks for your reply! Does this means a company can file for my H1 even if COS to H4 is in processing and I can leave the country to get stamp of H1?
