Bankruptcy and Debt 4 views 3 answers
Good Morning Sir/Madam, I have a question on my wifes H4 Visa stamping. She recently has come to USA on H4 Visa couple of months ago, when I was with Company A. Now I have changed my H1B Visa to Company B. And becoz of some emergency reasons she has to travel to India. My question is Can she travel to India and come back on the same visa stamping which was done earlier from the company A or does she have to go to US Consulate in India to get another visa stamping done from my current company B? Please let me know.

H-4s are not tied to a specific employer but only to the status of the H-1B. She doesn't need to go back to the consulate so long as she has a valid visa in her passport.

Her H-4 is still valid as it is not tied to your employer. Her visa stamping is still good. As long as she is married to you, and you are an H-1, then she is eligible for an H-4.

Her H-4 visa is not employer specific, as long as you are maintaining valid H-1 status, she can travel on her valid H-4 visa.
