Priyanka Chakravarty Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 My husband is on H1B Visa and I am subsequently on H4. Recently he applied for H1 to L1A conversion and it got approved by the USCIS. My L2 conversion also got approved. We just received the I-797 Approval Notice, our passport is not yet stamped with the new Visa. Here are the specific dates for our Visas H1 and H4 - Valid till 27th June 2018 L1A & L2 - Valid from 7th August 2017 to 14th June 2019 My question is: 1. Is the H1 and H4 not valid anymore? 2. How, when and where do we get the passport stamping done? (We would be traveling to India in September for 2 months) 3. I want to apply for EAD. Do I need to get my passport stamped with L2 or is the approved I-797 enough? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Did you get an i94 WITH l1 APPROVAL? Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 A visa in the passport is an entry document, not a status document. So, when someone's status is changed by USCIS issuing an Approval Notice with an I-94 Card that person's status is generally governed by that document. Someone granted an L-2 I-94 Card by USCIS can generally file for an EAD Card based on that status. Link to comment
