Hello
I had a few general questions ..... i have been evaluating options about how long to continue my current job before i return back to a homely h4 life .... but am confused about some status related questions ..... if someone can answer/explain i would really really appreciate.
- i have an H4 visa stamped already on my passport (say 2007).....
- a while back i changed my status to h1b .... since i never left the country, i don't have a h1b visa on my passport still.
now i wanted to understand the following hypothetical cases :
- firstly, if i choose to give up my job --> am i automatically back on my h4 considering that [1] it still appears current & pertinent on my passport and that [2] i don't have an h1 stamped ..... OR do i have to change my status to h4 again ? if i have to change my status again, does that also mean that i can't just leave the country and come back on my earlier h4 again, in case there's an emergency ?
- also, in the same lines, i was wondering that if i go for h1b stamping and its not approved, can i fall back on my h4 and enter or is the h4 visa nullified even though it was good for 2007.
thanks as for this and several other helpful responses in this forum.
