  • Marriage on OPT

    Hello ,

    I am currently on OPT STEM extension and my status would end on Nov 2013. I am getting married in India in April 2013 . I will go to India and return back on my opt status and apply for H1b in US.

    my question is can I sponsor my wife's H4 visa after my H1b gets approved? I have this question because I will have my status changed from OPT to H1b in USA but will not have any H1b visa stamp . Is H1b visa stamp on my passport necessary for me to sponsor my wife's H4 ?


    Please help me with this.

    Your wife can apply for her H4 Visa based on the approved petition. However she will not be able to travel before Oct 1.

    Also, be careful in your plans. If you return after April, the cap may not remain open and traveling while H1 petition is pending may create problems.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.
