I am in H1B status, and my family is in H-4. Our I-94s were all extended through 2027, but our visa stamps expired last year. My wife and kids wish to travel to India for a few weeks. Can they go for stamping, even though I plan to stay in the U.S., or do I have to apply first?

Generally speaking, if the principal spouse is in valid H1B status, it is possible for the dependents to apply for H-4 visa “stamps.” There normally is no need for the H1B worker to obtain a new H1B visa unless and until s/he will be traveling internationally. (02.Jul.2024)
