I am a H1-B holder and my spouse on H-4 and live in US.
My H1-B(and H-4) visa(in passport) expired on May 03rd 2011 and currently have I-797 extension form till 2014.
Planning to travel to canada for getting H1-B & H-4 stamping(passports).
In the past 7 years unknowingly we never filed for sperate H-4 petion along with H1-B.
But i am getting both (H1-B & H-4) visas stamped everytime based on my I-797 only in Canada without any issue.
Last time i got stamped both H1-B and H-4 is in Aug' 16 th 2010.
I was never asked for H-4 petition in any consulate. that how i enrolled into this issue.
Now knowing that H-4 visa expired 180+ days back in passport and having only H1-B I-797 and
I am leagal status all the past 7 years in US. The questions i have are:
a) Can i get stamped both H1-B and H-4 this time in canada same way as previous years ?
b) What could be the possible outcome of filing “nunc-pro-tunc” H-4 application ?
Please advise.
