Q: Approved h1b petition, COS requested and under review for 30 days. Options?
H4 filed on Dec 20th 2017, and potential employer filed COS/H1b. April 2 2018, H1b approved as consular processing but COS (h4-h1b) was not granted. Attorney requested a review and the review was accepted and sent to adjudications. 30 days have passed and no update yet. Waiting to fly to Canada but long wait times for interview. What are my options? Can I request a re-filing (does it make sense?)?
More info: My h4 expired on Dec 31 2017, and an extension was filed on Dec 20 2017. However, 2 days after the h1b was approved, on April 4th, h4 was approved for extension with the start date as Jan 1 2018 (until 2020).
A: Need more information. Why was your application for a change of status denied?
