Do I qualify for NIW with my H4 status

[faraleena]

I completed my PhD in December 2010. I was a post doctoral research associate on OPT status since January, 2011. I left my job in July 2011 and did not get another job by three months. Now my status is H4. Can I apply for NIW petition with this status?

I really appreciate your response.

Thanks,

Fara
