Hi,

 

My spouse got H1 and i am planning to go to US as dependent.

I came to know that H1 dependent are eligible to work.

May i know are there any conditions for H4 to work.

 

If i am not eligible to work with H4 , do i have any other best option to get work permit after going to US as H4 (He Dependent).

 

Can anyone guide me with this.

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi Pontevecchio,

 

Thanks for the response.

I was having H1 4 years back (expired 3 years back).

 

How soon can i apply for H1 once i enter US through H4.

If i get H1 , will i fall under lottery or Quota, And should i wait until october to start working?

 

Thanks in Advance

Can anyone please let me know.

An H1 can only be filed when the quota is open. The quota for fiscal year 2017 just started, and it is going to fill in the next couple of days.

You won't be able to find an employer and get an H1 application in for the 2017 quota.

So, you could try and find an employer to file a petition in April 2017 for a start date of Oct. 2017 (the beginning of the US 2018 fiscal year.)

Thanks for Response.

 

My doubt is (Since i was in H1 4 years back)-

1) Once i enter into US as H4 , do i have to wait for certain period to apply for H1?

2) If i want to apply for H1, will i fall under H1 quota (65000 quota)?

3) If i get H1 , should i have to wait until October(of the year i apply H1) to start working?

 

Thanks in Advance

Krishna
