Hi,

I'm on H4 and i have applied for H1B as a change of status. Waiting for Appoval. and my Current visa is Valid till dec 2013

1) My visa got picked in lottery and i have travelled to India? Can i travel back to US without getting approval.

2) Also my husband has switched Company from A to B. and my H4 visa is valid till Dec 2013. Do i need to apply for H4 pettion from Company B. Can i travel back to US without H4 approval as my visa is valid for till dec 2013

3) My Husband current employer says that no need to Apply H4 petittion as my current visa didnt expried is This statment is true.

No, COS will be approved if you are maintaining that status during the process. If  you leave US then you are no longer on H4 and COS doesn't make any sense.
