Approved i797 of my Wife

[arjunanand]

hi folks,

My Wife before she married to me she was working for Indian IT Firm where they Sponsored her H1 got here i797 approved till Nov 2013 and got also her Visa in 2011 as well.

But they never showed any interest for sending her to US.

We got married and she came along with me by Quitting her Job and as H4 Visa..

since she already have her H1 she find a new employer and do her H1 any time during the year right?

also does she has to this before her i797 expires? please advise.

Thanks

thanks for your reply..

 

one of the employer is willing to transfer her H1.

employer says since she is on H4 she cant work until she gets approved H1.

 

and more things we need to india for about 3 months. Is it possible to do the h4 to H1 transfer while being in india?

or H4 to H1 transfer can only happen while you are in US?

 

Please advise.

Employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition whether your wife is in India or in US. To work she needs to enter US with a valid H1B and I797.
