Status of H4 Visas After 221g Denial of H1B
Hello,
I had come for H1B Stamping in Nov 2009 but have been issued 221g
My family is on H4 and are still in USA.
Does my extended stay out of USA affect their status ??
If they stay till May becuase of my daughters school will it create problems with USCIS in the future ?
Thank you for your help and replies.

Their H4 visas are derivative of your H1B, but I'm assuming that at this point they haven't overstayed their I-94's, right? And your employer is working on clearing up whatever concern the USCIS has so that you can return, correct?

Mr. KnowItAll,
Thank you for your reply
My family's I94 is valid till July 2012
And my employer has already submitted required documents to consulate.
Can my family legally stay in USA till the case is resolved ?
Re: Status of H4 Visas After 221g Denial of H1B
no as long as the consulate as not requested that the USCIS revoke your h1b status and your employer does not cancel due to extended abscence . the h4 is a derviative of your status not your stamping

Pittbaby thank you the reply.
Does this mean that my family can legally stay in US till my H1 is revoked even if I am not in the USA ?
I am worried because I don't want to have any issues with USCIS in the future.

Mustram,
Since you said your family has H4 validity and I-94 till 2012....There is no issues.
