QUESTION
What can I do if I’m holding an approved H1B but currently residing in the U.S.A on an H4 visa?

More details to this question:
I have an approved H1B but not stamped, which was filed by my employer when I was in India. Currently I am in the U.S.A. accompanying my spouse on H4 visa. Now for my job, do I need to return back to India for stamping or is there any other way to transfer my visa status H4 to H1B. I wonder if I can do it as whoever applied through certificate of sponsorship, can do the same though mine is not certificate of sponsorship as the petition time I was in India.

You can have the employer refile the H-1B change of status from your current H-4 but it will involve all the same filing fees for USCIS.

I do not answer immigration questions. This is not governed by GA law.
