reshmi39 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi,I received my H1B petition approval and change of status from H4 - H1B today (Oct 6 2014). But due to emergency I need to travel to India on Oct 24th. I will be back on Nov 11. I have H4 visa stamped on my passport valid till 2016. I have not started working yet. 1. Can I travel in H4 and come back in H4?2. Once I am back will I lose my H1B visa?3. If I lose the H1B status, how to get it back?Please reply as it is kind of an emergency. Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks,Reshmi Link to comment
jairichi Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 1. Yes. 2. You do not have a stamped visa in your passport. How will you lose it? 3. Employer has to file COS and pay H1B fee again or you exit and enter with a valid H1B visa and I797. And, in my understanding an emergency is an unplanned event. Leaving to India on Oct 24th is a planned event. Don't be offended. Link to comment
