我們是加拿大公民。我先生現在持O1簽證, I-140批準,又抽中了H1b。
我希望轉H4以便開始工作。但是公司律師辦的是consularprocessing,讓我們出境拿stamp。
我擔心現在這種氣候出境入境有風險,希望在境內轉。
但是律師說因為是CP所以不能境內COS。
請問8老師,我現在比較糊塗。抽中了H1b然後就會收到visa吧,為什麽還要這個stamp?
-Because It seems the lawyer just did the paperwork for the employer to hire an H-1 employee, not did the paperwork for your spouse to change the status at the same time, you spouse needs to get the H-1 visa to come back to get the H-1 status (I-94). I have never seen a laywer so stupid like this one!
可不可以境內COS?
--This lawyer made the mistake to do the paperwork for CP, not for change of status within US. So, you cannot change it now. He/she should have done the paper for you to chnage status within US, but he/she didn't. This lawyer is very inexperienced.
如果必須離境,去加拿大海關就可以了吧?不需要去使館麵談吧?-After the H-1 petition is approved, if you are a Canada citizen, you can go to the US-Canada border to get the H-1/H-4 I-94 (status) after September 22, 2019. Othertwise, you need to get the H-1/H-4 visa in a US Consulate abroad.
開學後可不可以我先生先去辦visa, 等他回來後我再去辦H4?-Yes, but you need to do it within one month after you spouse comes back using the H-1 visa. Of course, it is better for both of you to go together.
