neelima.pasham Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi, What is the process for filing H4 Should it go through my company's attorney or can i file it on my own? What are the costs involved in this process? Thanks Link to comment
livliv Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Are you talking about applying for H4 Visa at a consulate or filing for change of status to H4 from some other status? The H4 spouse can complete both the applications on his/her own. The H1 principal's employer need not be involved. Link to comment
neelima.pasham Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 livliv, I want to know about COS from H1 to H4. How many days does it take for this process and what documents do i need to have in hand? What are the fees involved? Thanks Link to comment
livliv Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Search for form I-539 and instructions on USCIS website. You will need to provide proof of current status (H1 I-94, paystubs), proof of spouse's status (spouse's H1 I-94 paystubs), passport copies, and proof of relationship (marriage certificate).

livliv Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 To add to the above, it takes 2 to 3 months to get a decision. You can quit your job after application is received by USCIS and you must stop working after it is approved. Link to comment
