Age limit for H4 for children

[Attaluri]

Is there any age limit for H4 visa for children.

My daughter is studying in India and she will be traveling to US in summer vacation to visit us (parents). Till what age she is eligible for H4 visa to travel to US.

Thanks

The age limit is 21.

you mean..if she crosses 21 when on H4...her H4 becomes invalid?

Yes.

If she is over 21, she should apply for a B2 visa.

Thanks for the replies. But what is the general rule for H4 dependent children. How long can they be in that status?

[Attaluri]

My daughter is not married. She is 17 yrs old. How long she can maintain the H4 status.

As I already said, up to age 21.

Until she ages out as long as your H1B is valid
