Hi All

I have a question about the legality of H4-B staying in US while the H1-B is working for a US based company but is on a business visa at some other country.

I mean company X has sponsored for H1-B, and is sent for a one year time period to another country through the same employeer. In such a case will H4-B permitted to stay in USA for that one year.

Appreciate all responses.

Thanks
Poorna

Yes as long as the principal continues to be on H1 and on the payroll of the H1 sponsoring employer.
