doubt about H4 visa

[rimsi]

Hi all....need your help.....I am an H4 holder...I am currently in India...planning to come back in some time....would I need to show any documents on arrival at the US aiport?? Do I need to show any document of my husband who is on H1???

Yes.

1) Your valid visa and passport
2) Copy of your husband's H1B petition.
3) Last 3-4 months of latest pay slips of your Husband to prove that he is in valid H1B status (your H4 status depends on his H1B status).
4) Marriage certificate

Thanks a lotttt... But would it make a difference if his H1 visa is valid but stamping is over? Would i also need his employers letter??

You don't need a copy of his visa. The important thing is a copy of your husband's valid H1B petition. Yeah, an employment verification letter from his employer will help a lot.
