I am in H-4 status and am enrolled in university in New York. My husband just got a great job offer for an H1B position in Minnesota. Can I stay in New York to finish my studies, or does the H-4 spouse have to live in the same place as the H1B spouse?

There is no requirement that an H-4 spouse live with the principal H1B spouse. As long as he maintains valid H1B status, you normally would remain eligible for H-4 status, even if you are not currently living in the same household. (18.Dec.2019)
