H4 to H1-B Change of Status and Travel

[madz]

Hi, I work for a non profit organization and my employer is filing my H1-b on Sept 1st 2012, with a start date on Jan 2nd 2013. I plan to go India in Dec 2012 for my wedding and get H1-b and H4(my spouse) stamped together. We are planning to file a h1-b for my spouse (who would currently be on h4) on Apr 1st 2013 . Is it safe for my spouse to travel to India sometime before Aug 2013 and return to USA on h4 status , without my spouse h1 being declined. ?

Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
