Mohammed14 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Hi, I want to know if an H4 Visas (Family dependents) can enter 1st in USA at Point of Entry (POE) before main applicant i.e. H1B holder ? Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 (edited) No. Dependents can only enter at the same time as, or after, the principal. They can enter on B2 and then do Change of Status to H4, but that is expensive and takes months. Edited June 15 by newacct Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 (edited) If this is the first entry of the H1 holder, no. In that case, an H4 holder can only enter with or after the H1 holder. In subsequent entries it is generally ok if the H1 holder enters later after a trip abroad, assuming the H1 holder doesn't need to get a new visa (that's not guaranteed.)
