Partner was on f1 stem opt, H1b got approved in 2024 (i797 in hand), was laid off after 2 months, switched to B2 after using 50 days on h1b grace period, but couldn’t find job in 6 months as well and had to go back before b2 expired. We got married, and now she got her h4 stamp in India as my dependent as I have h1b. Can we expect any scrutiny when she will be entering now on h4? If so, how can we prepare?



FYI, She plans to look for jobs on h4 but will resume her h1b once she finds the job (assuming her h1b is still valid) by filing I-539. Should she mention this if cbp official asks while entering about intent to work?

Technically she has spent 3 months in h1b and have valid i797 till 30 sep 2026
