Rahul197 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi, Just wanted to check if 240 days rule (i-94 expiry + 240 days) apply for H4 as well. If H4 applicant can stay past 240 days if extension application is in progress and filed before i-94 expiry ? Thanks Link to comment
satya2k1 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 H4 is totally dependent on H1, so whatever rules apply for H1 also apply for H4. Link to comment
sumitsingh83 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I hope someone can confirm this : 1) Agree with Satya, same rules apply to H4 as H1 2) 240-day rule is the limit up to which H1 applicant can work post I94 expiry while the h1b extension is in progress and USCIS has not adjudicated the case. If USCIS takes more than 240 days post I94 expiry, you can not continue to work for the employer, but can still stay legally in the US, until USCIS adjudicates your case. This is my understanding and I would appreciate if senior members could confirm this. Link to comment
