Blanket L1 rejected, can we apply for H4?

[reddykrishna123]

My wife's blanket L1 visa got rejected. However, I have my H1 approved and set to travel next month.

Can she appear for an H4 dependent visa without me having travelled already?

What can be the repercussions on my H1 in that case?

She can apply for H4 Visa without any problem.

She can apply for H4 Visa without any problem.

But does she have to wait till I go to US and start working or can she apply immediately even before I travelled? I still have a month's time to travel and I was hoping my wife cud travel with me on her L1. But now that her L! got rejected, can she go for H4?

She can apply anytime.
