    Default H4 to G4 Conversion

    Hello All,

    I am currently on H4 visa and I recently got an offer fron UN in HR assistant category. My husband is in on H1B Visa, UN is insisting to convert my visa and my spouse visa to G4 visa in order to accept UN offer. As per UN, I and my spouse should be on G4 visa. I have following questions -

    1) Is it true that the spouse of the employee should convert to G4
    2) Per UN, if my spouse converts to G4 he will not immediately get a work permit, UN will apply for it and it takes around 6 weeks. What will be status of my husband during these 6 weeks, will he able to continue on H1B and can he still work for the same employer
    3) Do we both need to travel outside US for G4 stamping

    An early response would be highly appreciated, as I need to respond to the offer within 10 days.

    Thanks

    Let me understand this: Your husband is not being employed at the UN, you are, but they want to put your husband on a G4 visa as if he's a UN employee as opposed to a G5 visa as your dependent? That doesn't make sense to me. Are you sure that's what they told you?

    Hi,

    I had the same query as anandlav's. Can one spouse be on G4 while the other on H1B? I have not found a rule that clearly says that spouse/dependent of G4 cannot be on any visa other than G5? Can somebody help me with this?

    Thanks
