I filed an H-4 COS a few months ago and the case is still pending. I am travelling abroad this month for a couple of weeks. Can I request that my H-4 COS be changed to consular processing?

Answer

It is not necessary to request consular processing for an H-4 COS. The H-4 visa “stamping” does not require an I-539 approval. The H-4 stamp can be requested with proof of the marriage and spouse’s valid H1B status. (02.May.2016)
