H1 visa approved no documents received and H4 expiring......

[usavisas]

Hello,

My H1B visa got approved in Feb 2005 but my Employer hasnt received my documents yet. And by 10 May 2005 my H4 visa expires. If I apply for my H4 extension will my H1B visa become invalid once I get the documents? Can I cancel my H4 extension once I receive the H1 documents?

Any kind of advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Once your H4 visa is approved your H1 becomes invalid. BTW if you are sure that your H1 is approved , then you do not need to worry. You are probably approved to work from the date of approval. Also if its a COS then you may not receive a I94 with the approval notice. In this case you will have to out of the country and re-enter to get an I94. You should consult an attorney in any case.
