Hi,

I am currently in the US on an H-4 VISA that expires in end of July'2011. My extension was filed in March'2011 (at VSC) but the approval hasn't come yet. I have the receipt number. My Husbands H-1B extension has been approved (it was filed separately).

I now have a company ready to sponsor my H-1B and are ready to wait for me till October'2011 to join them.

1. Could I go ahead with the filing of my H-1B before my H-4 extension gets approved?

2. Can I get my I-94 extended at the local CBP office, based on my husbands H1-B which is valid for the next 2 years, till 2013 and then file my H1-B based on the new I-94?

3. Should the above question (question 2) be valid, while filing my H1-B, do I need to request a withdrawal of my pending H4 extension petition?

Any information on the above questions is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Vasavi Vangala

Wait for H4 extension approval . Make sure the employer employer will pay you once H1 gets approved. If employer is Desi dont file H1. File H1 through a employer who has Direct job for you.
