H-4 Visa

The H-4 Visa is a non-immigrant visa in the United States that allows dependents (spouses and children under 21) of H-1B visa holders—who are skilled workers— to reside in the U.S. while the H-1B holder works. H-4 visa holders can study and may apply for work authorization under certain conditions. This visa offers a way for families to stay together during the H-1B visa holder's employment in the U.S., reflecting the importance of family unity in immigration policy.
