I am filing for my H4 extension based on my husbands I797. could anyone tell me the answers for some questions in the form.

1. Is this petition based on a seperate petition or application to give your spouse or child an extension or change in status filed with this I539
Yes No

2. Have you or any other person included in this application been employed in United States since last admitted or granted extension or change of status.
Yes No

It also says to explain if answer is NO to question 2
 
Don’t you know a word “thank you” if somebody gives you free advice and help? you are asking as if it is your right to ask the info and others are obligated to give you free info, better pay the fees to lawyer and get the work done.
 
Saathia if u read my earlier mail u would see that I have already said thanks to ginnu and others for helping me out. I appreciate their work in helping me and others for giving good info and advice. It really helps a lot of people.

But still I am saying again, THANK YOU to everyone.

For part 4 additional info only asks that if you ticked NO for ‘3g” fully discribe how you are supporting……
Make separate sheet A and write explanation of PART 4 3G: mu husband XYZ is working on H1B visa status with company ABCD and he earns 000000 yearly and he is supporting me his recent pay stubs copies are attached. You have to sign this page or write this info on page 3 of I-539 they have provided space if you answered NO to question 3g
 
Thanks

Thanks Ginnu for all the help. We have already mailed and all ur info has been very useful not just for me but also for many others.
We just forgot about this matter and just few days back we came 2 know that I have 2 get my H4 approval even if my husband is having I797.

I know this process is simple but in todays scenario one doesn't want 2 do any mistakes as things can be denied for a very small reason. So I asked u few questions for which we had doubt in our mind.

I also found through this site that its not just us but many people r not aware of this. We would really had been in a problem.

Well Thanks again

Best wishes 2 U
