H4 or B1 stamping first?? (in what order??)

[VisaIssue123]

Immigration Forums:

_____________________

I am currently in India on H4 status, but I haven't got the H4 stamped in my passport. Yet to go for stamping.

My husband has applied for our Green Card and PD is August 2010.

I did not get my H1 and did not want to have a very long break in my career.

So until we get our Green card I am temporarily working in India and my company wants to send me to USA on B1 visa.

Option 1: Is it safe to go for B1 visa stamping before the H4 visa stamping?

------------

Once I travel on B1 and come back and then go for H4 stamping, will it be a problem?

Option 2: If I go for H4 visa stamping first, get the H4 stamped and then go for B1 visa stamping,

-------------

then will my H4 visa be cancelled?

Eventually I want to retain my H4 status and want to go to US when the PD is current and apply for GC.

So please let me know which one should I get stamped first B1 or H4?

You can go and get the B1 visa if the company provides appropriate specific and adequate documentation. The h4 is not an issue.
