Hello:
Sorry to post in English as my PC does not have support for Chinese -

I was on H1B and was laid off last Thursday

Now I am in the process of changing my status to H4 (my hu*****and is on h1B), I heard the process takes 3-6 months. My questions hopefully someone here knows?

1. Will I be able to travel overseas back home during this 3-6 months of waiting period?

2. Can I apply for COS here to H4 in the U.S. and then go back soon afterwards and reapply H4 from the U.S. Consulate overseas when the COS to H4 is still pending here in the U.S? (I have planned to go back to China next month a long time ago for wedding and have purchased the air ticket, I do not wish to have the wedding cancelled.)

3. We don't plan to stay in our current address for more than 3 months now, can I use my friend's address on the form I-539 so when the COS is approved the notice can be mailed to my friend's home? Would it cause issues when INS notice that my address on Form I-539 is different from my previous on file?

Thank you for your help!
