Hi,
Currently, I am on H-1 visa and my visa expires in May 2017. I plan to file my I-140 (EB-1A, fast-track) in September 2016 so that I can get my EAD card much before my visa expires.
My husband is working for a MNC company in India. Currently, he is on B1/B2 visa as he visited US last year to attend some meeting in his company.
We would like him to come here on H-4 visa and then together file I-485.
My question is following.
1. Do you suggest him to apply for his H4 visa before or after my I-140 approval?
2. I thought there will be more concerns from US consulate if he applies for H4 visa after my I-140 approval, as currently he is on B1/B2 visa. Please advise.
3. Do you anticipate any difficulty in getting H4 while an individual is on B1/B2?
4. Does he need to resign from his current job to apply for H4 visa?
5. Is there a possibility to change H4 to H1 while he is in the US (in case of my delayed I-140 approval)?
Thank you for your time.
