Need Advice for OPT -> H4

[dongdan 0]

I am not sure if this is the right place for my question.. If it is not, please feel free to direct it elsewhere.

Here is my situation:

I am a Chinese, just finished up school on F-1 visa and my OPT has started on July 16,2013. My husband is a Chinese working in US with a H1-B visa.

I plan to apply for a change of status from OPT to H4 by the end of September, (say Sep 26, 2013). I was noticed by the international student advisor of my school that the processing may take 3 to 6 months. If I depart U.S. while a change of status is pending, my application will be considered abandoned and canceled.

I plan to go back to China in early December and apply for an H4 visa at U.S. consulate in Beijing at that time. I don't think my application of change of status can be approved by then due to the slow processing. So, it means that my application will be cancelled when I depart U.S. And, I was told that the US consulate in Beijing will certainly have access to this information.

Here is my question:
Will the canceled application jeopardize or affect my H4 visa application in Beijing?

Your suggestions experiences would be greatly appreciated.

No it should not have any impact, they can see your change of status (H4) was abandoned and that’s exactly the same visa you would be applying for at consulate in China so that should not be the problem.
