My H1-B was approved in 2013 and I got a visa for 1 year till 12/22/2014 and I traveled alone to USA. I got my family’s stamping done on on 09/15/2014 which was till 12/22/2014 but then they could not travel. Then I got my H1-B extended till 12/22/2017. I had my family go for stamping again on 10/22/2014.

My wife got a visa till 10/16/2019 and my son got his visa till 12/22/2017. My family made a trip to USA on 12/24/2014 and reached Phoenix. My wife was given a I-94 till 12/23/2016 and my...

Hi,

My sister is doing her Masters and is on her H4 visa which is going to expire end of April. But, due to some issues in their marriage, her husband hasn't applied for the extension. She is planning on applying for Change of status to F1 which takes about 3 - 6 months for processing. My question is if she applies for a change of status and her H4 expires while the COS is in processing will she be out of status after her H4 expires? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hello all,

I have a question regarding L1 and transfer to H4.

My spouse has just got her H1 selected in the lottery and I am on L1.

I would like to apply for Dependent visa H4 (subject to approval of my spouse's H1), however, I would like to continue working on L-1A for now. And if needed, I can change later to H4 once my wife's I-140 is approved.

So I want to initiate H4 dependent visa and keep it ready.

Please advise how I can make these possible?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

Both me and my spouse-to-be are divorcees. We are both Indian citizens. We are getting married this month end. I'm on H1B and she will be on H4. For my DS160, I selected my Marital Status as Divorced (since I'm currently divorced). But since she's filling out a H4 DS160, the system isn't letting her specify her marital status as Divorced and specify me as her principal applicant. Should she set her Marital Status as Married and provide my information as her spouse since her H4 will...
