Entry into the US without stamped H4 visa [closed]

My I-797 which I received in the US is valid till 2017 but I have not had my H-4 visa stamped as yet. I am currently in India.

Will I be able to fly to the US with the I-797 alone, or will I be stopped from flying because I do not have the H-4 visa stamped?

Best Answer

No, you need a visa (visa stamp) to apply for admission to the U.S. You will not be allowed to board the flight without a visa, and if you managed to get to the U.S., you will be denied entry and potentially get a ban because you tried to enter without a visa.
