H4 Transfer??

[skrwriteme]

Hi

I had H1 with company A and my wife and kid have H4s. I joined a new employer and got the approval notice for H1 transfer from A to B.
Do i need to do any transfer for their H4 since i joined a new company ?

please advice

Hi,

H4 Visa depends on the Principal Applicant legal Status and not on the Employer.
So you don;t have to transfer H4.

But make sure that I-94 attached to their passports should be valid and if it is expiring soon then get it extended for them by filing FORM:I-539.

Thanks,

thanks bro! the I-94 is not expired yet. Just another question on this, will there be new LCA for the H1 transfer?

txh1b, can you please shed some light here on both of my questions

Abhay has helped already. Every H1b needs a LCA.

Hi,
As already mentioned by txhb1 ,that every H1B needs a LCA.

So you should have a NEW LCA papers and I-129 (Photocopy) with you - it will be needed when you or your family goes for stamping again in India in future.
