Can I apply for H4 on my own? Is it better to find an attorney to do that?

How should I start? I couldn't find information about application procesure, required documents, etc.

Please help.

are you on H4 status and IN US?
do you mean to file H4 Extension?
 
It is for my husband who is in US and on H1B. His current job will end in a month. So we need to file H4 for him.

Is there a fast way to change his status from H1 to H4? Like in a month? I just searched on internet and found it may take 3 months to get status changed to H4. Is that true?

-----------fill up form I-539, pay fees, his passport pages , attach copy of his I-94(front and back) YOUR H1 approval notice and your I-94(front and back) H1 to H4 Change of status should Reach USCIS BEFORE his I-94 gets expired. He will get H4 status till your H1 status

----correct but after filing of H1 to H4 he is safe. he should file H1 to H4 10-12 days Before his job ends or I-94 expires and when he gets reciept he is OK till he gets approval.
 
Ginnu,

Thanks a lot! Do you think we can I apply for H4 on our own? Do you recommend to find a lawyer?
