Requirements

What you need
to apply

  • H-1B sponsor's current visa and I-797 approval notice
  • Marriage certificate (for spouse)
  • Birth certificate (for children)
  • DS-160 application form for each dependent
  • Financial proof of sponsor's income and ability to support
  • Photographs meeting US consulate specifications
  • H-4 EAD application (I-765) if employment authorisation is needed
Key Notes
  • H-4 EAD (Employment Authorisation) is only available if sponsor has an approved I-140 petition
  • H-4 EAD rules have been subject to policy changes — confirm current status with GoAbroadly
  • H-4 visa is tied to the H-1B duration — it expires when the H-1B expires
  • Children born in the USA to H-4 holders are automatically US citizens
Pro Tip

If the H-1B sponsor has an approved I-140, file for the H-4 EAD immediately — it allows the dependent spouse to work in any sector without employer sponsorship. Processing takes several months so apply early.
