SaiKumar86 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi All, My wife's H4 extension petition is filed along with my H1 transfer to a new employer, assuming that the H1 doesnt get approved before our I-94 expiry date, a. can she stay in US along with me till a decision is made Or does she need to leave before the i-94 expiry day ? b. If she can stay, is it the same 240 day rule which is applicable to them as well, 240 day rule or denial date whichever is first ? Quote Link to comment

There is no 240 days limit for H-4. Even for H-1 240 day rule is to stop working, but still the H-1 can stay in US past 240 days. Quote Link to comment
