Status Change from H4 to H1B

[Naveen Garikipati]

Hi ,

I have applied for H1B for my spouse who is on H4. She was recently travelled to India and she has a valid H4 Stamped Visa. Now her H1B got approved. Can she travel to US on H4 visa? Her H1B visa is effective from October 1st 2016. do she has to get the stamping for the H1 or can she travel on H4 visa which is already stamped.

Please advise.

An employer filed an H1 for her and it was approved. She needs a H1 visa and then she can come over to start work. If she does not want to work she can come back in H4 status.
