H1B Petition Approved

[arajesh19]

Hello~

My wife's H1B petition got approved last week. She is on an H4 visa. Her I-94 is stamped with H4. I know there will be an I-94 on the I-797 Form. Is that enough for her to start working (along with SSN), or does she have to leave the country, get a new stamp and join work.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Rajesh

Hi Aam,

The H1 petition was filed on May 26th, the USCIS-VSC provided a receipt on June 1st and the approval was on Sept 7th.

It was a first time H1 (H4-H1).

Hi Anisa,

Are you in India or outside the US? If you are, thats why there is no I-94 attached to the I797.

Frankly, I havent seen the I797 yet, but my experience says, if you are in the US already, then the I-94 will be attached to the I797.

I will post the details once i see the I797.

Good luck

Rajesh
