我是主申請人。我和我妻子都是h1b。我們12月可以遞485申請。律師應該可以在下個星期提交485。我妻子的H1b十二月底到期,不能延期。我的問題是
(1)在提交485後,需要給我妻子辦理h4嗎?
-Up to her.
如果485的收據來的比我妻子h1b到期晚,而又沒有辦h4,她的身份是不是合法?
-Fine as long as her I-485 is mailed out 3 to 4 days before her I-94 expires.
(2)辦理h4是不是一種更安全的選擇?還是辦不辦都一樣?
-Does not matter. As long as you keep your H1 valid, she can apply for the H4 visa outside US to come back to get the H4 status if her I-485 is denied. She can apply for the AP for travel and EAD to work during the I-485 pending.
