H4 stamping while H4 EAD in progress

[Rgdh1]

hi ,

Is it advisable to go for H4 stamping while H4 EAD is still in progress?
What are the risks associated with it, both for h4 stamping and h4 EAD?


Thanks

EADs are dependent on H1 status, your H4 status and your H4 I-94. You applied for it and traveled outside US?

This is my opinion not legal advice,

hi Raghavi,

I have not yet, but planning to travel in next few weeks.
Below is timeline for all my details.

1. Previous H1b and H4 stamped VISA - August 2015
2. New H1 extn - untill Dec 2017. I have new I-94 attached to bottom approved I-797s for h1b and H4 approval. Last date of entry in USA was in June 2014. So last I-94 on web is showing untill August 2015.
3. I-140 approval - August 2016
4. H4 EAD applied - End of 2016 (still awaiting approval. I have receipt number)
5. H1b and H4 stamping dates booked - Last week of Oct 2016
6. Travel dates to India - Not yet finalized. I am still in USA.

As you can see from above that I am still awaiting for my spouse H4 EAD approval, if i travel now then:
1. what will be the impact on H1b and H4 stamping?
2. What will be impact on H4 EAD?

Would highly appreciate your response based on your knowledge. a quick response will help be to decide on travel.

Thanks again

Hi Rgdh1

I'm also in a same situation, can you share what happened in your case? Did you travelled and H4 EAD got approved while you are in India?
