I was on H1 visa and laid off from job on 10/30/09. I got severance pay for Nov. and have the pay stubs. I applied for COS from H4 to F1 for my spouse (already in collage) and H1 to F2 for me on 12/9/09. Meanwhile immigration performed spot check at my ex-employers on 12/3/09, so they came to know that i was not working. My employer had not revoked H1 by then. Our COS application was received by USCIS on 12/14/2009, case is currently under Initial Review.
-Will the immigration officers who did spot check inform USCIS that i was out of status?
-Will case get rejected due to delay in applying for COS?
-Will there be any complications in transferring my H1 to new employer as i was out of status for about a month before i applied for COS?
-How to stop F2 COS if i get H1 transfer first?
