I am currently working on F-1 OPT extenstion which is valid till July 2013. My Company is going to start the process of my H1 B application in April 2012. So I would be expecting the decision from USCIS sometime in June/July. So considering that the decision is positive (H1b approved), I would like to travel to India sometime in July/August. So considering the above situation I have few questions that I would like to get clarified:
1) If I travel in July/August to India can I do stamping of my H1B Visa, as the Visa would be valid from October 1st 2012? Or I can travel and come back to US without doing my H1B stamping as I would returning to US before H1B validity starts?
2) If I can do stamping is it possible for me to return back to US before 1st October 2012, or do I need to retun only after 1st october?
3) If I can do stamping of my H1B, can I also apply for my wife's H4 stamping along with me when I am in India(jul/Aug)?
4) What is the earlist possible date she can travel to US if she is allowed to do H4 stamping with me?
