Laid Off, H1 needs transfer, need H4.
I got laid off and my I-797 will terminate on April 7. My wife is waiting to get a H4.
What do we do first - get H4 on current I797 before April 7, or, get H1 transfer complete and then apply for H4 with new I797?
In case 1 when she obtains H4 on current I797 and then I transfer to H1, then can she be denied entry because I will be with a different employer than what she got a stamp for?
In case 2 when she applies when H1 transfer is complete, then will she have to wait for a few months again because she needs to show my paystubs?
Can I take the middle path - I apply for a transfer here and she goes for the H4 at the same time?
Please advise.
