All,
I have my H1 approval and have an appointment with consulate in September. I have booked my wife's appt. as well for H4. Although, there is a seperate H1 in progress for her, the approval is not likely to come before our appointment (regular processing). My question is:
Can she travel to US on H4 and start working when her H1 approval comes without getting it stamped on her passport?
The reason I ask this is because in my H1 approval notice, I saw only two options of H1 approval -
a) consular processing, which requires you to appear in the interview at one of the Indian consulates and
b) Change of status which does not require stamping.
I am confused since her H1 was applied while she is still in India and cannot be considered a change of status.
Any help would be much appreciated!
