H1 and H4

[immi6745]

Hi

I have applied for H1 from India in may06. In June06 I got married and entered USA in H4 Visa.

Now I am in USA in H4 and leaving to India in Sep06. When I re-enter USA next time (most probably after my H1 got approved), do I need to get H1 stamped before entering USA or I can enter in H4 and start working in H1?

Thanks

You have to get H1 stamp before you start working or you have to re-file H1 with change of status (COS) after you enter on H4 and can start working after your H1 COS gets approved.
