Hi,

My L1 to H1 COS is in "Initial review". I traveled to India from USA and came back on 26th Aug 2012. I have got new I-94.
My I-94 date is valid till my L1 visa valid date 15-Jan-2013.

I don't want to loose my H1 visa application and I want to go to India in November or December 2012. Please suggest for following:

1. Now I have new I-94, so should I ask my employer to send an amendment with new I-94 to USCIS, so that my travel does not affect my H1 petition?

2. Without sending any amendment to USICS, Can I wait in US to get H1 approved and than travel to India in November or any other time for H1 stamping at consular?

3. Is it necessary to travel to India before Oct 1st for stamping H1?

Please help and suggest anything !
Thanks!
