  • H4 extension while h1b approved

    Hi,

    Currently i'm on H4 visa and it is getting expired in july 2014. We are filing for extension for H4 visa in next week. But i have got my H1B approval last week.

    According to last action rule on I94, which of my visas are going to be effective by Oct1?

    if I apply H4 extension is it going to override H1b, since that will be the last approved visa (since H1 is already approved)?

    If it is going to override what are my next steps to keep H1b active?

    Please help me with information.

    Thanks in advance.

    When you say H1 approved, did you already get the approval notice?

    Assuming your H1 was applied as COS and gets approved with a new I-94. If your H4 extension gets approved before 01-Oct-2014 then you will still move to H1 from 01-Oct-2014. But if your H4 ext gets approved after H1 start date then you would move back to H4 and need to re apply H4 to H1 COS.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
