I was on L1B from March 2022 till Feb 2025, my i94 expired on 01/25/2025. I was waiting for my L1B visa extension update, and I got the visa denial on 02/10/2025, I left for India from US on 02/14/2025.
My current organization applied for balmy H1B, and H1B was picked in FY 2026 lottery, will the above overstay cause any issue with H1B approval ?
Also,my Spouse is on H1 visa, I have booked for H4 visa slot, 0n 04/16/2025. If I have H4 Stamp, can I travel to US on H4 in May 2025, while being on Sabbatical in my current job, and apply for a COS to H1 in June and start working from October 2026 ?
