Yes, possible questions at POE. You should travel with H4.

H4. That's the best option you got.

Cannot use B1, and on B2 you can stay only for 6 months( or less).

As everyone mentioned let your spouse travel on H4. You guys can travel together. A return ticket is not required for H4.

I see absolutely no problem with this. Valid visa, valid reasons, no problem.

thanks NinetyFive. oh! so, wife with h1, husband with tourist b1/b2, can travel together! i was having doubts for this all the while.

what kind of documents are required for this case. since he would be planning to stay for 3 month . Earlier on B1 he has stayed for a month or less.

He can be on B2, not B1. Almost, every B1 or B2 visa approval results in a B1/B2 visa. So, it can be used for either B1 (business) or B2 (Travel). Since, its a travel, your husband should enter on B2.

To enter with B2, you should have enough funds to stay in the US, a place to stay, some places to see and a valid return ticket.
