What Are The Requirements for an H-4 Visa?
  • If the applicant is presently in the United States, in status, VisaNow.com® can submit the application here in the U.S.
  • If the applicant is residing outside of the United States, the applicant submits Form DS-156 to the U.S. Consular office where he/she resides.
The consular officer may require additional documents to verify the purpose for obtaining the visa. The visa may be issued on the same day that the application is made and is in the form of a stamp in the applicant's passport.

An H-4 visa applicant must be an immediate family member of an H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, or H-3 visa holder. Immediate family members include a spouse or a child. The child must be single and under the age of 21. H-4 visa holders cannot accept employment in the United States.

How Long Is The H-4 Visa Valid?
An H-4 visa holder is admitted to the U.S. for the same amount of time as the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, and H-3 visa holder that he/she is accompanying. VisaNow.com® can make the application to extend the H-4 visa to correspond with an extension of the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, and H-3 visa holder.
