Is H4 the correct visa to use after relatives have become green card holders? [closed] - Happy Easter Card

I am looking into staying with my relatives in the USA (I live in the UK). They were originally using a H1-B visa but now have green card status. If I want to go and stay with them, is applying for a H4 visa the correct choice?

How long is H4 visa valid?

The H4 visa is valid for three years. The eligibility lasts until the principal H1 holder has an approved I-129. In an unfortunate situation where the H1B holder is out of a job, then a grace period of 60 days will be given.

Can I apply for green card while on H-4?

Under H-4 status, you will be able to live and study in the U.S. Those that are the spouses of H-1B holders can also work, provided that they obtain valid Employment Authorization Documents (EAD). Additionally, as of 2015, H-4 visa holders can apply for lawful permanent residence (green cards).

Who is eligible for H4 visa?

The H4 visa is issued to the dependent family members of an H1B visa holder (spouse and children under 21 years) who want to join the H1B visa holder in the United States.

Can we apply H-4 for parents?

Who is eligible for an H4 visa? The USCIS will allow immediate family members of H-visa holders, including the H1B visa, to obtain a H4 visa to lawfully come and stay in the US with their spouse or parent.
