I am having 8 YOE with 42 LPA in India. My wife have 6+ YOE , She have h1 visa , workings in USA . Fully remote within USA and earns 85K USD. I can't work if I move to USA on H4. Do you recommend in this case.

1) Asking her to move to India ( she is fine with any location. She can get 30LPA in India)
2) Myself find a remote job, move to USA.

3) Take any support Job in USA

Do you recommend any other optionHey folks, need some advice.

I’ve got around 8 years of experience and make ~42 LPA

There are lot of uncertainty in USA on H1B visa.. both you and your wife are earning decent amount.. I would suggest to be in India.. I have worked in US and India both.. life is better in US but with lot of uncertainty.

Moving on H4 without work rights will be tough, especially with your current salary and experience. Instead of asking your wife to move back and take a pay cut, it’s better for you to try getting a US-remote role from India first and move only when you have stable income. Taking small support jobs in the US won’t match your profile, so that shouldn’t be your first choice.

like

If you move to the US on H4, you can’t work, so your career stalls. If she moves to India, her pay drops a lot. Best path is usually she stays in the US while you try for an H1B, L1, or a proper remote role first. That keeps both careers safer.
