COS from B1/B2 to H1B

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi,

           I need advice on my current situation.

 

1. Filed fresh H1B through small employer and got petition approved in 2014 valid for 3 years.

2. Got 221g during visa stamping and completed 4 months with no updates.

3. Tried other options and since I have B1/B2 found a employer for doing COS from B1/B2 to H1B.

4. Employer asked me to come to US on B1/B2, wait for 30 days and then planning to apply for H1B with COS.

 

[b]My Questions:[/b]

1. Any issues in this process?

2. Should I withdraw my 221g or can I let it go on?

3. Can I start working after getting receipt number or I need to wait till approval?

4. What are the chances of H1B approval as it a COS?

5. What are the chances of H1B visa approval after working for 1 year with proper documents?

 

Thanks for your time and advice.
