I lost my previous job around second week of June and I found one job and made them apply for my h1b with consular notification. They applied, and I came out of the country while they applied and hence it got approved. It is a large company with very good reputation. However, I was out of status for around a month, so I’m wondering if I would have any issues at the PoE.
-
Ended previous job - second week of June
-
Left US, third week of July (out of status for around a month)
-
H1B consular notification - approved without i94 - with new company (large one with good reputation) August first week (no question of out of status while applying for the petition)
-
Have valid stamp till first week of September.
My questions:
-
My spouse will be going for a H4 visa interview on the last week of August (first time). She will be mentioning that I am about to join the company and I’m traveling to US in 2 days. Will she be asked why I was out of status before I left the US?
-
Will there be any problems with the H4 visa approval, because I do not have paystubs for about 2.5 months, while I am currently not in US? Does it even matter that I was out of status just before I left US?
-
I am traveling back to US with my approval notice on the last week of August. Will I have questions at the PoE on why I was out of status before I left US?
-
What reason can I give about why I was out of status, if they ask such a question?
