Can you work on H-4 Visa?
Question details
Can you work on H-4 Visa?
FAQ Transcript
Not without an employment authorization which comes only at a certain level of maturity of your spouse's green card.
F-1 change of status and H-4 expires
Question details
If I were to file for F-1 but my H-4 was going to expire would I have to file for an H-4 extension?
FAQ Transcript
No. So if within the life of your H-4 you apply for F-1 change of status and if the H-4 expires that's fine. By the way, H-4 allows you to go to school. As soon as you file for the F-1 you should be able to continue going to school. Also check with your DSO.

H-1B layoff options - Going to home country and applying for jobs, going through the lottery again and documents required to apply for a new visa to explain missing pay stubs
Question details
I am on an H-1B visa and recently got laid off.
If I don't find a job within the 60 days grace period:
1. Can I go back to my home country and keep applying for jobs and then come back once I get one? If yes, would I have to go through the lottery again?
2. If not, what are my options?
3. What additional documents do I need to provide while applying for my new visa to explain the missing pay stubs?
4. What does the company that let me go send to the USCIS as documentation for termination of contract?
FAQ Transcript
- Sure, you can go back to your home country. No, you do not have to go through the lottery again.
- H-4 and F-1 CPT visas would be options.
- You actually just need a copy of your H-1B approval.
- If an employer wants to conclude an H-1B, they have to do three things: First, they have to inform the employee that their job is terminated. Second, they have to offer the employee a one-way ticket back to their home country. Third, they have to put it down in writing and request that the H-1B be revoked because they have to write to the USCIS.
QSSI is an IT Consulting Company located in Gaithersburg, MD with a staff strength of 120+ . We have been working with Rajiv Khanna's office for close to four years. They are the best. Rajiv's staff is very knowledgeable, dedicated, prompt and professional. Rajiv is always willing to talk anyone who needs legal counsel for immigration. We are very impressed with their service, though it is tough to single out an individual, as we find all of them to be real professionals but would still want to single out the few: Rena, Anna, Mathew, Amrita, Suman, Hellen and of course Rajiv.
