I have a valid H1B, but am in India and do not have a project in the U.S. I also have an H-4 visa stamp. Can I come to the U.S. on my H-4? What should I expect from the immigration officers at the POE?

Answer

If the H-4 visa stamp is valid and unexpired, it could be used to reenter the U.S., as long as one is still married to the primary beneficiary in H1B status. The POE officers need proof of H-4 eligibility, such as a copy of the spouse’s H1B approval notice, marriage certificate, spouse’s pay slips, etc. (15.Aug.2016)
