[Srutiindia]

Hi ,  IAM currently on H4 and planning to go to India now (November 2019)  and return in 2010 july.my question is  :

--myhusband has to go for his H1 renewal. With out renewing H4, (as I will go to India)  can he renew his H1 B? 

Thank you so much

Better apply H4 along with H1B. if not do not worry. H4 can go to visa stamping with approved renewal H1B.

If the OP is outside the US there is no H4 to get extended. If the OP's H4 visa is expired it is necessary to get a new visa at the consulate.

Ok thank you so much for your reply. May I ask you one question ?

We just saw my H-4 visa got  expired ,as I Didnt visit India due to my family reasons .so we kept extending my H4 visa in usa  . Now Iam going to India before my H4 extension so I have to get my new H4 visa  .Based on my spouse H1 B approval notice I get stamping and return to USA .right ? 

Now after coming back to USA , should I apply my H4 extension or can I have legal status just based on my I-94 till the time H1-B approved ??

 

Thank you 

Regards 

Sruti.
