  • H1B extension pending - Need to file a H4 visa

    Hi folks,

    My H1B visa is going to expire this September. We are expecting a baby in July and currently my wife is India. We need to file a H4 visa for the new born. My extension is not yet filed by my company and the process just got initiated. So, can I file H4 visa for the new born with my existing H1B documents or will I need to submit any proof that my extension has been filed, to get the H4 visa issued ?

    Thanks,
    Prakash.

    If you apply for the H4 before your extension is approved, they are going to get the visa only until September. I would advise to get your extension approved first so that they get the H4 for a longer period based on the extended H1B petition. You may file your extension as premium processing.
    This is just my opinion, not a legal advice.
