I recently got my H1B renewal notice but my wife’s H4/EAD is not approved yet (filed in Feb). If I want to travel to my home country with my wife in June, can my wife get stamping done in home country after receiving the approval notice (say Sep) ? Also, how does biometrics work for H4-EAD in such cases ? TIA

Yes, you can get stamping done in your home country. The h4 ead application if filed will be considered abandoned. Once you are back you would need to file h4 ead as a stand alone application, there will be no need for biometrics at the timw.

Very helpful. Thank you !

After a hard reset on travel points (got none after Covid and change to industry) how would you start over? Which credit card is best for travel points? Airline? Starwood or Bonvoy? Avis or ??

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
