Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Dear Sir,

I am currently in US on a H4. Our marraige was in India. But due to some issues we got seperated and I live with my freind. My current status expires by july. What would be the best option to maintain my status provided there is no means of communication with my husband and cant receive his pay stubs. He is still working under h1b

Thanks,

You won't be able to maintain or extend your status because your status is dependent on your husband's status/visa.

If you are not divorced yet, it could be possible if he agrees to assist you, but he doesn't have to.

Your H-4 status is based on your husband's H-1B visa status. If you are considering to work or study in the US, you may want to look into other visa options.
