I am currently working on H1B. My wife is currently in India with approved I797 for H1B (starting Oct 07). We are debating whether to get H1 or H4 stamped on passport. (H4 is totally our decision and for H1 we need to depend on her company's schedule).
- Can she come to the US on H4 (lets say next month) and if and when she finds a job (lets say next year), can she switch to H1? Is there a time limit before H1 will become invalid?
- If she comes to the US on H4, are there any issues changing status to H1?
- Are there issues when she goes to India again to get H1 stamped?
- Is there a difference between the I797 approval notice if a person is out of US vs. in US? (I have read something about I-94. I thought I-94 is always attached to 797 approval notice).
Thanks! I appreciate any useful info.
