I am currently on H4 visa. I had applied for H1b and got selected in the lottery and received the Receipt number. I travelled to India on an emergency during that period.
Today I received the notice stating that my H1b is approved and the change of status from H4 to H1 has been denied since I went out of the country and alos stated that I have to go to consulate in India to get my H1 stamped.
My Questions :
1. Is there any way to re apply for change of status without travelling to India ?
2. What are the chances of getting it approved?
3. How much would it cost to reapply ?
4. If I go to India for stamping what are the chances of getting it stamped ?
5. In case it does not get approved, can I still come back on my H4 ?
6. After coming back can I apply for my H1 again in this year's quota itself ?
Please Advise.
Thanks for the help.
