H4 Status

[sushma singh]

I wanted to confirm if my wife who is currently in India has h4 stamped from my previous employer. Does she have to get a new visa or she can come to US on the same visa which is valid till 1/19/2012

Unlike H1B status which is tied to a particular employer and position, H4 status it tied to the principal spouse or parent. Therefore, as long as our wife’s H4 visa has not been revoked or canceled, she is eligible to utilize an already issued and valid H4 visa to enter the U.S. despite your change of H1B employer. If you have any further questions, please contact a qualified U.S. immigration attorney.
