Is H4 Extension required, while new fresh H1B is in process ?

[karthik.raja2k11@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

My spouse H4 is expiring in less than a month, and the new H1B petition for this year 2015 has been selected in the lot. Do I need to file H4 extension (or) is she allowed to stay based on pending H1 which is in process ?

 

Kindly provide your inputs and advise.

 

 

Thanks,

Karthik

Yes she allowed to stay based on pending H1 receipt date.

For safer side apply for her H4 extension

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Sure, I will do that. Bases on H1 receipt what is the max number of days allowed to stay?
