Hello,

Is it possible to travel outside US when you have applied for H4 to H1 Change of status?

How long does it take for the H4-H1 COS to get approved?

Is it OK to travel outside US(say Canada) and come back in once approved with the valid petition with out visa stamping?

The visit is only for 4-5 days...

Thanks for the help !

---not advisable. if you travel outside while your COS is in progress then USCIS may approve the petition with out COS.

--Check the USCIS website for processig times. 2-4 months.
