An H4 Visa allows a dependent family member (spouse and children below 21), to accompany their family member having H1 Visa to the USA during their stay. The USCIS makes possible for immediate family members of H visa holders (H1 A, H1 B, H2 B, or H3) to receive the H4 Visa to legally enter the USA and stay there. Generally, the issuance of these visas is done at the local US consulate office overseas. But, if the candidate is already in the USA, they can get H4 status by means of filing Form I-539 for the status change.
Having all knowledge about the H4 visa can lead to overconfidence in a candidate. Many times, eligible applicants file their applications on their own, which are incomplete and improper.

Being under the guidance of immigration professional not only provides assurance, but it also helps you increase your chances of being considered an eligible candidate for the visa.

The Employment Authorization for Certain H4 Dependent Spouses final rule or H4 rule is known for supporting the purposes of tempting and preserving well-skilled international workers and reducing the obstacles to the US businesses that come from H1 B Visa holders who pick not to remain in the country and try to achieve LPR status.
