I came to USA on H-1B in 2006, but I was never paid by the Employer since the Employer could not find a project. After one year has passed, I came to know that I am out-of-status (did not fully know immigration laws at that time) and I applied for COS based on my Spouse's H-1B. Luckily, CIS did not ask for "my" pay stubs and the COS was approved. Can anyone please suggest if there will be any problems when I go for Visa stamping at a consulate abroad as a H-4 dependent?
My concerns are (a) if they will ask me to prove my Status when I was on H-1B for year (I don't obviously have W-2 or Pay stubs); (b) even though I cannot prove my H-1B status, will consulate still issue H-4 visa now, notwithstanding that prior violation? (c) will consulate question that my previous H-4 COS was perhaps acquired fradulently?
Any insight or help will be greatly appreciated. I am leaving for my home country in less than a week, so please, I really plead for expert guidance or opinion.
