Hi All,

I am in USA now on H4 Visa as a dependant of my husband who is on H1B. I am going to process my H1B Visa via a consultancy firm in premium mode. Since this process starts in April '13, lets assume i receive a response by May'13 if the Visa is approved or not.
My queries are as follows -
> if USCIS says that H1B is approved with COS, i recieve a new I94, does it mean that my status will be H1B effective immidiately? or it will be effective from Oct'12 always?
> How does USCIS respond for premium H1B cases?

If you want to know why i am concerned about this date - because my husband's H1B/ my H4 will expire on Aug'13. So i need to be on a valid 'STATUS' before that time.

Regards,
Rajneeta
