Hi,

I am currently in the US on a B1/B2 visa to visit my Girlfriend/Fiance who is on an H1B. My duration of stay on my current visa ends in June 2012. We plan to get married in April so that I can get onto an H4 visa. What is the best way to approach the change of visa status? My concerns are that I don't want to do anything that is "Frowned Upon" by the USCIS and/or might jeopardize things for me in the long term.

Thanks,
Anurag

I am hoping to get H1B approval in few weeks. Can my wife apply for H4 visa with just my H1 approval or does she needs to wait for my H1 to come into effect i.e. October 1st? And when can she travel at earliest on H4?

Hi,
I am currently on F1 OPT extension which will expire on June 30th. My wife is in India. I will be applying for my H1 visa in April. When is the earliest my wife can travel to US if her H4 gets stamped in May. Does she has to wait till Oct 1 for my H1 to get effective to enter in US?

Thank you

Hi Rajiv

I have valid H1b till 2013 & want to go for marriage in mid of March. I got receipt of I485, AP and EAD as I m in EB2. I want to take H4 stamping date in Mumbai before my I485 approved so I can bring my wife on H4 instead of family based F2A visa. So I need H4 stamping date ASAP

We are official unmarried now. My wife has to filled DS160 form for interview date and specify husband name in it. Is it possible to take H4 stamping date before marriage?

If I get the stamping date,is it valid? Will it create any issue on H4 stamping as she got the appointment date before marriage. Thanks

Hi

I had my H1 with old employer Employer A. I got my family H4 visa stamped in October that time.
After that, I've changed my employment to Employer B and got H1 transferred approved for employer B.
My family still holds H4 with stamp of Employer A.

They are planning to travel to US now with visa stamped with Employer A. Will they need to get their H4 visa re-stamped for Employer B? Or they can safely travel with their original VISA?

Thanks

Hello! My dad holds H1B visa and family and I have H4 visas which are valid until may of 2012. I turned 21 in October of 2011 and now some people are telling me that I am "out of status" because I am not a dependent anymore. Is that true? I know I am not a dependent after I turn 21 but how does it make me "out of status" if I have valid I-797 form that says that I have H4 visa until may of 2012. Can you please explain this to me

thanks

Hi, I am on valid H4 and filed I-485 along with my husband. I left USA before Advance Parole (AP) was approved. Now My husband's I-485 is approved and mine is still pending. Can I re-enter in US on H4 or AP? Please help.

Hi,

As my wife is working in US for long, I have currently come on H4 visa to be with her for few months. I need to know - Can H4 visa holder do volunteering in non profit volunteer organizations ? I know i cannot work on H4 and I don't want to do as well, but doing non profit volunteering for community service is illegal for H4?

Thanks in advance.

I have got married on December 8, 2012. My husband has got a job in USA and we both together applied for H1B for him and H4 for me. Our interview is few days later. I am from Bangladesh. Our families did not approve our wedding for some social issues and they did not attend our wedding. Thats why, we got married in an informal small way with the help of some of our near and dear ones. Wil this fact i mean, issues related to our marriage disrupt our visa approval?

I have stamped visa that means my h1 petetion is approved right?
My employer is ready to give me offer letter that job is still valid.
But employer is not ready to give any employee verification letter.But should i go for my wife H4 Visa.
Please let me know the situation right now are the visa getting accepted or it is gloomy.
I have very less time to take the decision.
Please help me ASAP.

I am awaiting H1B approval. Once I get it I intend to apply H4 for my wife. I wish to know the time it takes to process a H4 visa after it is applied for.

Thannks in advance.

Hi we had applied for H4 extension for my wife and child (1 year) in same I539 form. we received an approved 797 form for dependents. Applicant's name is my wife's name and beneficiary's name is my daugther's name. The i-94 in the form, contains only my daugther's number and not my wife's I94 number. My wife's name is mentioned as a petitioner. Should my wife also have a separate I94 in the approved 797 form?

Hi Rajiv,
Can I apply for H4 after extending my I94, which is actually after my Visa will be expired but I will have a valid I94. Could you please advise.

Thanks
