    Default H1b to H4 COS, but H1B Expires Soon

    Hi,
    I have h1b stamped till 2009 sep. when i came to US in 2007, i have transfered my h1b and its valid till 2010 sep (but my passport shows 2009 sep).
    After transfering my visa i went back to india and came in 2008 july.
    at Port of Entry the officer said if i had to go back to india and return to US again, i need to get my visa stamped at chennai as its showing 2009 even though H1b work petition ( I-797) shows 2010.

    now am still in US, but i lost my job and i want to change my H1b status to H4. I have pay stubs ready, but before sending for COS, i have some doubts.

    1. Am planning to go to india in month of July. Can i travel to india when my COS application is still under process?

    2. if i had to come to US in Dec 2009, will i be allowed at the POE, as my passport is showing H1B status valid till 2009 sep.

    Its urgent, pls help am under total confusion.......

    ..Pav

    The easiest thing would probably be to travel before you go out of status on your H1B, then return in H4 status.
