If your friend’s wife traveled to India while her H-1B petition was still pending, it can trigger an RFE (Request for Evidence) because travel outside the U.S. can impact the processing of a Change of Status (COS) application.

Key Points:

1. Travel During Pending H-1B: If the petition was filed with a "Change of Status" request and she traveled, USCIS considers the COS request abandoned. The H-1B petition itself might still be approved but without a status change.

2. Emergency Documentation: Providing evidence of an emergency for the travel can help USCIS understand the situation, but this may not automatically reinstate the COS.

3. Possible Outcomes:

   • H-1B Approved Without COS: If approved, she must apply for an H-1B visa stamp at a U.S. consulate abroad before re-entering the U.S.
   • H-1B Denied: If USCIS doesn’t accept the justification, the petition might be denied.

Next Steps:

• Ensure your friend provides strong supporting documents explaining the emergency (medical, family, etc.).
• If needed, consult an immigration attorney for proper handling. Casewise.ai Lawyer database can help you connect with experienced immigration lawyers for further guidance.
