H4 to H1 COS


H4 to H1

Recommended Posts

Hi,


Currently i am in H4 visa. This year i have applied for H1b and it got approved but Change Of Status was denied since i was out of country during the approval time. Now i am back to U.S and asking my employer to file COS but she wants to file H1b premium processing with cap exempt, is it possible before or after October without pay stubs?

Why do you need a new H1 when your H1 is already approved for this year??

@rahul412: Isn't OP traveling outside US at the time of H1B petition processing considered as abandoning COS? And, OP had mentioned COS has been denied because of this reason and OP has come back to US on H4. Correct me if I am wrong.

That's correct ,but OP's H1 is approved. He/she doesn't need new H1, just file COS from H4 to H1.
