Entrevista para la visa H-4

Practice common H-4 interview questions about your relationship, the principal applicant’s employment, your immigration history, and your plans in the United States.

✓ Explain when and how your relationship with the principal applicant was established
✓ Answer questions about the principal applicant’s employer, position, and work location
✓ Prepare for follow-up questions about prior travel, refusals, study, work, and living arrangements

Practice clear explanations—not assumptions about the case.

You should be able to answer naturally without guessing about important facts or contradicting the principal applicant’s petition and supporting documents.

Organize the identity, relationship, H-1B, and supporting documents that may be relevant to your H-4 visa interview.

✓ Review your passport, DS-160 confirmation, appointment information, and photographs
✓ Organize marriage, birth, or other appropriate dependency evidence
✓ Review the principal applicant’s approval notice, employment information, status records, and visa documents

Check names, dates, addresses, and employment information.

Small inconsistencies between your application, relationship documents, and the principal applicant’s H-1B records can create unnecessary confusion.

Find answers to common questions about H-4 eligibility, interview preparation, relationship evidence, study, travel, separate visa applications, and employment authorization.

✓ Understand what officers may examine about the qualifying relationship and principal H-1B case
✓ Learn why H-4 status does not automatically provide employment authorization
✓ Review how employment authorization may be available to certain eligible H-4 spouses

Dependent status does not mean every dependent has identical benefits.

Employment authorization is limited to qualifying H-4 spouses who meet the applicable requirements; it is not automatically granted to every H-4 visa holder.
