hi ,
I entered usa in H4 visa in july 2008 , while my H1 was applied from india in 2008 ,and H1 got approved . now my employer is forcing me to do COS(H4 to H1) or go to india for stamping because he can't hold my H1 in a approved state so long . due to current market condition and so many rejections i am afraid to go for COS . He is asking $2800 only for regular COS processing !!!!
thats too high , does this much really needed for Change of status H4 to H1 ??
so how long can a person be on H1 approved state without stamping ?
should I go for COS now ?
