What status can my spouse and children get if I’m applying for an H-1b visa or I already have an H-1b visa, and can they work and/or study in the US?
Based on the H1b visa holder’s status, spouses and children can apply to obtain an H4 visa (a derivative of the H1b visa, which allows them to live and study in the US, but will not allow them to work in the US. However, family members may apply for a different visa if they fulfill the visa’s eligibility requirements. See the immigration section of our site which provides eligibility requirements and information for different types of visas.
