  • H1 issue

    I am currently in India and my H1B got approved this year. I have an H4 stamped on my passport.

    My spouse is in US on H1 and I want to join him H4 this November, 'without getting my H1 stamped'. Once I reach US, I am planning to search jobs and change my status to H1. So my question is:

    1) Can I go to US after Oct 1st this year on H4?
    2) Once I reach there, can I start working there? In that case, will my change of status will be automatically changed from H4-H1?

    1. Yes.

    2. No status changes are automatic. Either the H1b COS from H4 has to be approved by USCIS for you to work or get a H1b stamp abroad.

    Look at the H1b FAQs on immihelp under H1b section or hundreds of posts.

    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.
