  • Husband on H1 valid another 3 yrs, wife H1 completes 6yrs

    Dear All,

    As this forum is so nice, I would like to request for a help.

    I am on H1B valid another 3 yrs.
    My wife is on H1B, completes 6yrs in next 6 months.

    Question:

    1. Can she stay in US as my dependent on H4 after 6months?
    OR
    2. Does she needs to leave the country as she completed 6 yrs with H1?

    Really appreciate some real anwers

    H1 and H4 period has been decoupled. Google for H1/H4 Decoupling.

    She can remain on H4 provided USCIS approves her COS to H4 from H1. It is possible. But she will not be able to get another H1b until she remains outside for 1 year.

    What do you mean by real answers?

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
