Hi,

  1. I dont have any idea for your first question.

  2. It is not just a COS. Its again a fresh H1b. We have options like filing H1b with COS and with out COS. If you file COS, your H4 will automatically get changed to H1 once the petition is approved or on the date mentioned in petition.If with out COS, you need to go for consular processing for visa stamping in your home country.You can apply for H1b this year itself but make sure that you apply with in first 2 weeks before the quota is over. If you are applying for H1b with COS, you cannot travel to India while the H1b approval process is pending.

  3. There are consultancies processing visa for people in India, but if it is a reputed company you can avoid stamping problems.

  4. You can get the H1b sponsors through your known friends, family members and relatives. Nowadays lots of consultancies come forward to sponsor visa, but it is very difficult to identify who is good and bad so it is always better to know from the pople who are already working.
