"H4 visa and its dependency on employer"

[AdviseMeplz]

Does employer  inform about H4 rollback to USCIS as I a left ? if no, that means my next employer can ONLY sponsor my H1 and skip H4 as it is (as they have been sponsored by my previous employer for next 3 years). is H4 only dependent on H1 or H4 also dependent on H1 employer? if H1 employee changing job by getting sponsoring every time, does H4 also need to be reapplied or if H4 is having valid I797A & I94 for next 3 years, H4 don't need to be reapplied for every time.

H4 is dependent on H1B status of primary applicant and not employer.

An H4 is not dependent on the employer.

If the H4 is still valid, it stays valid as long as you have a valid H1.

H4 doesn't automatically get extended if H1 is extended.

 

You need to file for the H4 dependent. YOu need to inform your attorney when you file you H1B.
