I just got married last June and I am planning to ask my wife to apply for a H4 Visa. My current H1B visa is expiring this August 31 but my H1B extension has already been approved for another 3 years. I am planning to ask my wife to apply for her H4 tied to my extended Visa rather than the expiring visa. My question is, can my wife apply for the H4 visa now so she can come to the US this September when my visa extension takes effect OR does she have to wait for September to apply for her H4 visa because thats when my extended H1B visa kicks in?

I cant find any details with regards to my concerns, so if anyone has any information at all, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank you!
