shirish_sahu Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi, Please provide me your advice of the following. I am working with employer A on a H1B visa with I-797 and I-94 valid until Oct-2020. My dependents on H4 visas currently in US also had their I-94 and stamped visa valid until Oct-2020. I joined employer B and they completed my H1 transfer and I have also received the approval notice. The I-797 and I-94 with employer B are valid until Nov-2020. Do i need to do a change of status for H4 dependents since the H4 is valid until Oct-2020 and that I can apply for change of status using I-539. In the meantime ? Employer A has sent a notice to revoke my previous H1B with them, valid until Oct-2019. 1. Please let me know if I should apply for I-539 change of status for my dependents or should I not worry about it until it is due to expire in Oct-2019 . 2. Are the H4 dependents considered out of status since I changed my employer and did not apply for I-539? 3. Will Employer A revoking my H1B impact the status of my H4 dependents since they had applied for the dependents H4 visas. i saw some mixed response on different forum for similar situation . thank you all for your time and for all your responses in advance.

JoeF Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 The H4s are not tied to your employer. They are tied to your H1. So, you getting a new H1 is all that is needed. Quote Link to comment
