Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

From the information that you provided, it appears that you will not be able to obtain an H-4 visa without you and your husband's reconciliation, making it a 'good faith' marriage, showing that you are living together and intend to be married. If there are questions about your marriage, some embassies even ask for proof of your good faith marriage, like recent bank statements, photos, etc. Specifically, in order to obtain an H-4 visa again, you would need your husband's original or a copy of his H-1B approval notice, proof of his employment verification, his most recent paycheck stubs, your original marriage certificate, and possibly your husband may even need to be present to obtain this visa.

Good Afternoon:

I am sorry to hear that things between you and your husband are problematic.

Unfortunately, the renewal of your H4 visa is dependent on your husband's visa.

However, if you would like to come back to the US, there may be options for you, including immigrant visas (for permanent residency) that may depend on your work experience and/or family in the US. Likewise, you may be able to apply for a different non-immigrant/temporary visa such as a visitor visa (B2) or student visa (F1) if you'd like to return to the US.

To discuss your options further, kindly call me at 714 288 0574, or email me at [email protected]. We offer a FREE initial consultation and payment plans.
