  • Can I travel to US on H4 while my H1B application is under process?

    Hi All,

    Need your suggestions.

    I have got my H1B stamped and moving to USA soon, my wife's employer is going to file her H1B in coming FY14 cap. I am planning to bring my wife with me on H4 for 3/4 months. My questions are:

    1)If she travels to US in and out while her H1B is under process, would it cause any problem to her H1B processing?
    2)Is there any chance of delaying the H1B processing time?
    3)can she work from home for 1/2 months while in US?
    4)Which visa would be good for her? H4 or B1/B2?
    5)Is it safe to apply H4 whereas her H1B would be processed soon?

    Please help me to get out of this confusing situations.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    SS

    2)Is there any chance of delaying the H1B processing time? -- Why?
    3)can she work from home for 1/2 months while in US? -- Not in H4 status.
    4)Which visa would be good for her? H4 or B1/B2? -- H4
    5)Is it safe to apply H4 whereas her H1B would be processed soon? -- H4 Visa and H1 petition are separate.

    Please help me to get out of this confusing situations.

      Need One more suggestion....

      Dear Mr. kabkaba

      Thanks for the reply.I really appreciate this.
      I have one more doubt. If she travels on B1/B2 Visa instead of H4, can she work from home for 1 or 2 months for her Indian employer?

      Please suggest.

      Thanks,
      SS

        No, working is not allowed on either B1/B2 or H4 Visas.
