  • H4 to H1B or F1...Which is easier?

    Hi,

    I am sure this question has been asked before in the forum and I apologize if I am repeating it.
    I am working on a H1B and contemplating marriage. My understanding is that the spouse has to enter the country in H4.

    My question is - is it easier to transfer from H4 to H1B later on? Or is it recommended to go the H4 to F1 to h1B path?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Best Regards
    P

    H4 to H1B or F1...Which is easier?

    Hello P,

    There is nothing easy or tough when it comes to immigration. It's all depend on what you plan and decide at the end.

    H4 to H1 --> has it's own difficulties as you can only apply on Apr 2014. Mostly this year would end up on lottery. Lot of challenges until it get approve. Once it is, then your spouse can start work from oct 1st 2014.

    H4--F1--H1, you need to have GRE/GMAT score, TOFEL and then Ofcourse money. Overall, it would take atleast 2 years for your spouse to start to work. The best part here is that, based on the graduate degree, You spouse would be eligible under 20k H1 masters quota when you apply for COS from F1 to H1.

    It's my opinion.
