H4 Renewal for a Canadian Citizen


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi all,

My wife ( a citizen of India) is on an H1B and just got a new i797 with her status renewed until 2023.  She's unable to get an interview for stamping of a visa until March next year. 

I'm a Canadian and my H4 expires in October this year. Would it make more sense to file for an extension of status (i-539) by paying the $400 filing fee and play the waiting game; Or do I leave and apply for a new H4 on arrival at the port of entry? What are the risks of getting rejected, given that my wife has an approved i797 until 2023. 

 Thanks for the assistance.
