Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

H4 visa stamping

I have valid H4 stamping in my

passport. But my husband has

changed his employer. Now I am

planning to go to India. Do i need to

go to the US consolate there to get

stamping again or I shall come back

on my existing H4 visa itself. f i can

come on existing visa itself, will i

have any issues in the POE. I have

all his H1B documents clearly.

Re: H4 visa stamping

You can use your existing H-4 visa, assuming it has not expired. You don't need to get a new visa just because his employer changed. You need to track your expiration date carefully when you return, because it will almost certainly now be different to his.

Re: H4 visa stamping

Dear Inquirer:

Your visa is still valid. You should, however, be prepared to explain how your husband remains in valid H-1B status, if asked, and to present copies of his current and prior I-94s.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com for more information.
