F2 to H1B COS

[narin.chelladurai]

Hi All,

My H1B petition was approved last year and have attended the VI interview which ended up in 221G. Recently i have moved to US on F2 and joined with my family. Can you please help me with the details below?

1. Can my employer[Who filed my petition] apply for F2 to H1B COS?
2. Will the 221G have any impact on the COS outcome?
3. What are the chances for COS denial?
4. If COS is denied, Will the H1B petition still valid?
5. What are the documents required for applying COS?
6. Is it good to go with the old employer or should i look for a new employer?

Thanks,
N

1. Yes.
2. Depends what the 221G was for.
3. No one can predict it depends upon the documentation one submits for the COS.
4. Yes, unless USCIS itself revokes the petition.
5. Approved petition, current passport, visa, I-94 spouse's F1 proof, https://www.immihelp.com/h1-visa-transfer/
6. If you feel the employer is deliberately delayed/did not provide documents which resulted in your earlier 221G or doesn't have genuine work for you then its advisable to look for a new one.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks Raghvi. The 221(g) is related to the project and employer details.
