Hi folks,

I need some help from you all. My H1 has expired in Oct 02 & my company had applied for my h1 renewal on July 1st,02 but as of now it hasnt come. I am now in India planning to get married in dec end (Hopefully....). Now my problem is I am wondering how will i get the H4 for my spouse with an expired H1. Will the embassy in delhi agree with the H1 renewal recpt and grant her H4 without my H1.

The other issue is that I plan to reenter US with my AP knowing well that my renewed H1 will come next year some time. Will the INS allow me to enter on AP & my wife on H4. Also will this make me compulsory to work on EAD/ OR can i still use my H1 status to work in the US.

Your advise will be really appreciated freinds..

Best wishes

Nice Guy
 
It is difficult to get h4 without an approved h1. Entering using AP will not affect H1 processing
 
H1 expired..need H4 for wife

Thanks for your reply....


You have mentioned that if I use AP I can still be on H1. But I have heard from people that the moment you use AP your status becomes kind of permanent and you need to use EAD to work....how true is this....

I need to know this as after i get married i need to go first..settle down for a month and then bring my wife.....I was planning to use my AP to enter and once i get my h1 ..my wife can use it get an H4 for herself and join me later....

Pls let me know if this is possible......
