H-4 Work Permit

By Annie Banerjee

ADVERTISEMENTS
H-4 Work Permit

1.      Who can get the work permit?
Spouses of H-1B. The H-1B individual needs to have: (1) and Approved I-140 and (2) Maintain his or her H-1B status.

The H-4 person needs to also maintain his or her H-4 status

So this is not spouses for recent arrivals who just has H-1B and has not started the Green Card (Permanent Resident Card) process yet.  Note L-2 can apply for work permit immediately upon entry into the US.

2.      When can the H-4 apply  ?

Starting from May 26, 2015.  Citizenship and Immigration Service will reject applications filed before this date.

3.      Is this a sure thing?
This is under the Executive Action which is being currently challenged in Court. So this is not 100% sure. To date Citizenship and Immigration Service has not released any new forms or regulations

4.      Documents: These would probably be the necessary documents
1.      Copy of marriage certificate (with English translation)
2.      Copy of children's birth certificate, if any
3.      Copy of H-4 approval and/or Visa page
4.      Copy of H-1B spouse?s H-1B approval
5.      Copy of H-1B spouses I-140 approval
6.      Three Recent paystubs of H-1B spouse
7.      Two passport size pictures of H-4 Employment Authorization Document applicant
