My wife is in the U.S. in H-4 status. I had been on H1B status, but suddenly had to travel overseas. My H1B visa stamp has expired. Can I return to the U.S. using my AP document?

Answer

If the principal spouse enters on advance parole, then typically the dependent spouse is no longer eligible to maintain valid H-4 status. (11.Nov.2021)
