Hello,
I am an employee of Company A with a valid H1B visa till August 2016. I spent close to 10 months in USA and Returned back to India in 2014..
My Husband is an employee of Company B And recently moved to USA on his New H1b Application.
Current Situation:
I want to QUIT my Company A and join my husband in the USA. I also have an Infant with me and would not mind being at home for 4-5 months if need be (However I would prefer working immediately).
Options:
1) Company B can raise a H4 visa for me and my child. I can be at home and a suitable employer can file a COS for me from H4 to H1B
Question:
Is this option a Safe to do one ? Does this happen often ? I don't want to end up being on H4 forever even though I have a Valid H1B petition. Also is there a new rule that I cannot apply for a COS before 1 year as I am on H4 ?
Option 2:
2) I can find a suitable employer while I am in India. He can directly transfer my H1, I can quit company A and travel as their employee.
I am confused between the 2 options and I am looking for the safest option.
Really Seek some expert advice please
Kind Regards
