My wife is on B2 visa and has applied for COS to H4. Her 6 months period on B2 ends on April 11th. I understand that if she goes outside the US after April 11th, the COS process will be cancelled, but in that case, will she be a defaulter for having overstayed the 6 months period as a visitor?
[Asking because she got admitted for MS which is due to start on Aug, and she is unsure as to how long it will take for the COS to get approved. If it gets too close to Aug, she will have to leave the country and come back on F1 (consular processing), which is fine as long as she has not defaulted for having overstayed in the US beyond 6 months]
