My spouse is Indian citizen and working in USA on h1b with i140 approved recently. I am going to become a Canadian citizen next week (2nd May 2024). Currenrly I am having a visitor (B1/B2) visa on my Indian passport. We recently got married. I have a few question:

A: Can Canadian citizen apply for H4 visa? Can I directly apply at the Canadian-US border?
B: Once I get in to the USA can I apply for h4 ead?

looking forward to hearing from you back.
Thank you and warm regards.

A. Canadian citizens do not need a visa to enter the US in most nonimmigrant statuses, including H4. Also, you never apply for a "visa" at the border; US "visas" can only be obtained at a US consulate. Rather, you seek entry at the border. As a Canadian citizen, you can travel to any US port of entry (land, sea, or air) with your Canadian passport, and be admitted into H4 status by presenting a copy of your spouse's H1b I-94 and your marriage certificate, without needing a visa.
B. Yes
