Hi Folks, I’m getting married this December and my H1 just got selected in lottery this year. Does it make sense to apply for H4 in home country or have my spouse travel on B1 and apply for COS in US?

Thank you !

If you do the H4, your spouse can't work until you have an approved i140.

Egan is the one who decides whether you can bring H4 to the US or not. Egan is above everyone else. He like a big boss

I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
