    Default What Steps Do H4 Visa Holders Have to Take When the H1B Holder Changes Employers

    I have a situation, where am working in US on H1B and my family right now are on vacation to india on H4.
    Family is having H4 visa stamped valid till mid 2016.
    And now I'm planning to change my company. So, my questions are:
    1) New employer is asking to call my family back in US before my H1 transfer, so that they can transfer H1 and H4 together.
    Is it absolutely necessary to transfer it together?
    2) Can I call my family safely even if my H1B transfer is in process?

    Default Re: H4 Transfer for My Family in India when H1b Transfer for Me with New Employer in

    I would question the credibility and experience of your new employer. It it a consulting firm? Is it a full time job at a midsized or larger employer?

    Your family's H4s are related to your H1B and not your employer. There is no "transfer" of employer needed for them. Your family needs only the approval notice of your employer at their time of appearance at the border and valid (unexpired) H4 visas which they apparently have. If you have a transfer in progress and do not have an approval notice for that employer as yet, they need to delay travel. You can pay for priority/premium processing in order to get a fast decision.
