  • H4 Visa/Entry to USA

    Hi,
    I have applied for my H1B Visa in 2011 and got approval in 2012. My H1 B Visa is valid till 30 Sep 2014.
    I was in Finland on a onsite through Indian Company and couldnt come to USA during that time.
    I have completed finland assignment in Mar 2014 and travelled to USA in May 2014. I am now in USA currently and working.

    I am planning to get my spouse and children now on H4. They are going for visa stamping on 24th July 2014.
    Since I have only 2 months left on my current valid visa, Will there be any issue for their H4 ?
    I am going to file for extension once my family is here. Can they travel after Sep 10th 2014, if visa is issued on 24th July 2014.

    I am worried since my current visa expires on 30th Sep 2014 and it should not be a problem for their stamping on 24th July 2014 and arrival into USA since I want to get them here after sep 10th 2014.

    Please advice.

    Technically they can, but dont know if consulate would give visa only for 2 Months.

    Why dont you file for your H1 extension in premium now so that they can go with the latest petition and get a longer H4?

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
