Mahika.mehta Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi My husband is working in the U.S. on an H1B, and I'll be applying for my H4 spouse visa. The application asks for a petition number. Q1. Is that supposed to come from my husband? He has a petition number based on his H1B. I was in USA two years ago on a J1 student intern visitor visa for training. Q2. Is there a J1 requirement for H4 in terms of maintaining a foreign status for 2 years? Thanks Mahika Link to comment
jairichi Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Q1. Yes. Q2. First check whether you are subject to 2 years HRR based on J1. If the answer is yes then either you fulfill the requirement or get a waiver to go for H4 visa stamping. If the answer is no then you are fine. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 1. Yes. 2.Not for the H4 visa. But the 2 year HRR if applicable remains in force from the time you left after J1. Link to comment
