#spouse visa for usa

[greaseonmymouth]

the number of Americans who think they can just move to somewhere else - my social media feeds everywhere (except tumblr, but I’ve seen it here too) is flooded with Americans asking whether they qualify as citizens bc their great great grandpa was from [insert European country] or which area in Scotland has best weather or which southern European country has cheapest rent or how to get a marriage visa to a Nordic country

my dudes. you can’t. there’s no “I’ll just move elsewhere” about this. Europe generally speaking is hostile to immigrants even from within Europe. unfortunately for you, you will have to stay and keep voting and keep working to make your country a better place. I’m sorry it’s hard. it is what it is.

Navigating the Opportunities of H1B Spouse Visa: A Guide to Employment Prospects

Relocating to the United States on an H1B visa presents exciting opportunities for professionals and their families. If you are wondering whether H1B visa spouses can work, the answer is yes! For spouses accompanying H1B visa holders, the H4 visa, also known as the H-1B spouse visa, offers the opportunity to live and potentially work in the US. Understanding the nuances of the H1B spouse visa, including eligibility requirements and employment prospects, is vital for a smooth transition.

Understanding H1B Spouse Visa Requirements and Work Authorization

What is an H1B spouse visa (H4 visa)?

The H1B spouse visa, or H-4 visa, permits your spouse and children to stay in the US for the same duration as your H1B visa’s validity. Your spouse can even obtain authorization to work in the US through the H4 visa.

Eligibility criteria for H1B spouse visa

To qualify for an H1B dependent visa (H4 visa), certain eligibility criteria must be met, including being legally married to the H1B visa holder and providing a valid marriage certificate as proof.

H1B Visa Benefits for the Spouses

H1B spouse visa allows principal H1B holder dependents to work and live in the USA for the same period as long as the H1B holder. Spouses holding an H4 visa have the opportunity to apply for employment authorization, granting them the freedom to pursue professional opportunities in the US.

How to Apply for an H1B Spouse Visa and Employment Authorization

Applying for an H1B spouse visa

You can apply for an H1B spouse visa from within or outside the US. If you are already in the US, you need to fill in a change of status form for an H1B visa. If you are outside the US, you can apply for the H4 visa from the US embassy.

How to Apply for Employment Authorization

To apply for employment authorization, you’ll need to complete form I-765 and submit it for approval. This application is only applicable if you’re currently in the US with a valid H4 visa. Upon receiving approval for your EAD, you’re authorized to start working in the US, provided your spouse’s H1B visa remains valid.

Conclusion

You can apply for an H4 visa to reunite with your spouse in the US. As long as you meet the eligibility requirements, you can maintain this status. Platforms like Imagility provide comprehensive support for various visas, including the H4 visa, along with immigration software solutions to streamline the process.

[wistfulcynic]

in December 2008 i moved permanently from the USA to the UK and promptly got an ear infection. It was intensely painful, like an ice pick through my skull. i took some OTC painkiller and lay in bed, moaning and miserable. 

my (English) husband looked at me like i’d grown a third head. 

“if it’s that bad why don’t you just go to the doctor?” he said. 

“i--i can go to the doctor in this country!” was my reply. 

at that time, it had probably been 5-6 years since i’d seen a doctor. Not since i stopped being on my dad’s insurance. Even when i’d had my own insurance (via my grad school institution as part of my teaching assistantship compensation, the same insurance as the professors had. Probably pretty good. Still too confusing and scary for me) i never felt like i had the spare cash to cover a copay, was always afraid that what i needed wouldn’t be covered by the insurance. i ignored an abscess in my mouth for weeks until it finally burst in a geyser of pus you definitely don’t want me to go into further detail about, because i was worried that would count as dental and i didn’t have dental coverage. 

you get the picture. Health care in the US sucks hard. 

when my ear was infected, my husband phoned his local GP surgery (with which i was not registered, i was an immigrant on a spouse visa, only arrived the previous week), got me an appointment later that day. They saw me, diagnosed me, gave me a prescription for antibiotics for which i paid (i think, at the time) roughly £7. Cleared up in a few days. 

all i paid for was the prescription. 

some years later my husband made me go to the doctor again. i was having random symptoms i wasn’t even sure were symptoms, a weird laundry list of stuff that could be connected or could be nothing. i went to the GP with this list, worried that they’d take one look at a heavyset woman and immediately go “lose weight fatty!” or “diabetes!” They did not. The doctor was a young-ish woman who listened carefully to everything i told her, looked at my list of symptoms, and said “we’ll test for other things, but I’m 99% sure this is a problem with your thyroid. i’m going to start you on some medicine while we wait for the test results.” 

prescriptions were by then something in the neighbourhood of £8. 

a few days later i got a call from the lab that had run my blood tests. They told me that my thyroid levels were through the roof, so high they were actively dangerous. Cardiac arrest was a likely outcome if it was left untreated. They advised me to get a prescription immediately, and were audibly relieved when i told them i already had one. 

if i’d not been living in a country with free-at-the-point-of-service health care, i would not have seen a doctor. The NHS saved my life. 

why am i going on about this? Well. It’s because NHS workers have planned a strike for later this month, and the press are already on the attack. Fearmongering about how this will throw the system into chaos, patients will go untreated, etc etc blah blah all with the very unsubtle spin of “blame the workers. Blame the strikers. They’re putting your lives in danger.” 

zero mention of how dire the situation is in many hospitals. Not enough nurses (because Brexit among other reasons) and the ones we do have are overworked and underpaid. Too many patients not enough beds. Old buildings, old equipment. 

none of which is a problem with the system. The system’s great. The system works. The problem is the predatory Tory government who would love nothing more than a privatised, US-style insurance-based healthcare system off of which they and their cronies can profit. The problem is how the government has been starving the NHS of funds for over a decade, under the guise of “austerity” and how we all need to muck in together. Except them, obviously. They’re different. 

the problem is absolutely not the people striking because they, like nearly all of us in this country, are shamefully underpaid. Because they deserve compensation for their hard and dangerous work. Compensation they are not being given, despite their attempts at negotiation. 

whenever collective action happens there are always people eager to blame the workers. Greedy nurses, refusing to treat us when we need them because they think their pay is more important. How dare they? They have a responsibility to do their jobs! i am urging all my UK mutuals and anyone who reads this not to be taken in by these spurious arguments or any spin doctoring from the news rags. Side with the workers! Side with the nurses. Side with the people who want the NHS well-funded and thriving. A robust national health service is a universal good. Ours is creaky and wobbling but that is from mistreatment, not because the principle is unsound. i promise you, however frustrating you find the NHS, an American-style system is far, far worse.

Absolutely ridiculous that the Supreme Court can decide "no its actually not infringing anyone's rights that the country declined your Salvadorian husband's green card under the assumption he's doing illegal activities and won't disclose why they came to that consensus, its not in the constitution"

Like its pure racism and now we 'don't have a right' to bring Non-citizen spouses to the USA? I thought marriage was the best way to assure a Visa??

[leylaxkaplan]

have you seen LEYLA KAPLAN around the crash site? we’re trying to make sure they’re still alive after the crash! according to the manifesto SHE is a 30 year old CIS WOMAN. i hear they’re known being a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR (independent). LEYLA is also known to be TENACIOUS yet also SUSPICIOUS at times. we have a couple questions for LEYLA when we find HER, we heard something about a secret they might have? such as SHE’S BEEN LIVING IN THE USA UNDER FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS! 

basics.

full name: leyla kaplan

gender & pronouns: cis woman, she/her

age & dob: 30 years old / december 17th, 1970

birthplace: istanbul, türkiye

orientation: bisexual

occupation: private investigator

history.

If her birth parents ever particularly cared for her, Leyla doesn't know. She has no memory of them at all, her early life spent in the halls of a cold orphanage. A runaway by the age of eight, most of her adolescence was spent on the streets of Istanbul along with the other unwanted children. It was a rough childhood, but it taught Leyla survival, something that would suit her well as she grew.

Being quick, observant and clever made for opportunity; what started out as simple tail jobs, a little spy in all but name for some jealous lover or greedy rival, blossomed into what would eventually become Leyla's career. She had a knack for it, that ability to squeeze herself in exactly where she wasn't wanted, even against the odds of those that did not want to be found. It was good money — or good enough, at least, to no longer live on the street. While an official job title was never taken, those who had information they wanted ferreted out would often find themselves standing at Leyla's door.

It was at the age of twenty-five that the brunette turned her attention abroad. While Türkiye had always been her home, Istanbul seemed more of a cage than a welcome, the memories attached to the city bittersweet. It had taken years to accrue the money for relocation, official immigration or VISA application was out of the question for an orphan girl with no real documents to confirm her existence. But her line of work had put her into contacts with a less than upstanding side of the city, including a forger capable of creating documentation that could get her into the United States — at a hefty cost. It was one Leyla agreed to pay, though, setting her sights on the California coast as her site of a fresh beginning.

It was a rough go at the beginning, but Leyla was no stranger to survival by the skin of her teeth. Putting the skills she had learnt in Istanbul to use, she slowly began to build a new life for herself, eventually even obtaining a small office space for official inquiries. The apartment she rented was shitty and small, but it was hers, and more importantly, it felt like home. It was a life she was proud of, until the day it was suddenly ripped away through her fingers.

present day.

It was her job ultimately that drew Leyla onto the fateful Flight 78. A wealthy spouse, intent on proving her husband's infidelity, certain his business trip to Sydney was actually a cover to go meet his lover had hired her services. Leyla was meant to follow him there — being on the same flight was a matter of convenience, that there would be no time for him to slip away at the airport gates — and collect proof of his cheating liaisons in order for her client to use in the inevitable divorce. If only she'd known the ramifications of what taking that job would be.

skills.

Though it has been some time since her days on the streets of Istanbul, Leyla has not forgotten what it felt like to have an empty belly. She knows how to ration supplies, is not too proud to eat what others would turn their nose up to. There's a wariness to her nature that never fully trusts, always sleeps with one eye open, and is well-versed with lack of typical comforts. At her core, she is a survivalist first.

Work Visa After MBA in USA: Your Complete Guide

If you’re planning to pursue an MBA in the USA, you’re not alone! The USA is home to some of the world’s top business schools and offers incredible career opportunities. But once you graduate, the big question is: How do you get a work visa after MBA in USA?

This guide breaks down all the options available, so you can stay and work in the USA legally after completing your MBA. Let’s explore your visa options and see which one fits best with your career goals!

1. H-1B Visa: The Most Popular Choice

The H-1B visa is one of the most common work visa after MBA in USA apply for. This visa allows you to work in the USA for up to 6 years in a “specialty occupation” like consulting, finance, or tech.

Key Facts About the H-1B Visa:

Lottery System: Every year, there are only 85,000 H-1B visas available, and they are given out through a lottery. If you have a U.S. master’s degree or higher, you have an extra 20,000 chances in the lottery.

Job Offer Needed: To get an H-1B, you need a job offer from a company in the USA that is willing to sponsor you.

Application Timing: Most companies apply for this visa in April, so you need to secure a job early!

Tip: Look for companies that have a history of sponsoring H-1B visas. This will increase your chances of getting hired and getting the visa.

2. OPT (Optional Practical Training): A Flexible Option

If you want some flexibility after your MBA, the OPT program is a great choice. It allows you to work in the USA for up to 12 months after graduation.

What’s Great About OPT:

STEM Extension: If your MBA is STEM-designated (like Business Analytics), you can extend your OPT for an additional 24 months. That’s up to 3 years of work authorization!

No Sponsorship Required: Unlike H-1B, you don’t need a company to sponsor you for OPT.

Freedom to Explore: You can work for any employer as long as it’s related to your field of study.

Quick Tip: Apply for OPT early (up to 90 days before you graduate) so that you can start working as soon as you finish your MBA.

3. L-1 Visa: Ideal for Multinational Employees

If you’re already working for a multinational company before your MBA, the L-1 visa might be the perfect fit. It’s used for transferring employees from a company’s office abroad to its U.S. branch.

Key Points About the L-1 Visa:

Work Experience Needed: You must have worked for your employer for at least 1 year outside the USA.

Validity: The L-1 visa is valid for 5-7 years, depending on your job role.

Family Benefits: Your spouse can also apply for a work permit under the L-1 visa, which is a big plus!

Note: This visa is easier to get if you’re employed by a large, well-known multinational company.

4. E-2 Visa: For Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Have dreams of starting your own business in the USA after your MBA? The E-2 visa is for you! This visa is for entrepreneurs who want to invest in a U.S. business.

E-2 Visa Essentials:

Investment Required: You need to invest a substantial amount (usually around $100,000) in your business.

Country-Specific: Only citizens from certain countries can apply for the E-2 visa.

Renewable: The visa can be renewed indefinitely as long as your business is running.

Pro Tip: The E-2 visa is ideal for those who want to be their own boss and have the funds to invest in a startup.

5. Long-Term Solution: Getting a Green Card

If you’re thinking about staying in the USA permanently, getting a Green Card is the best option. Here are two common ways to get a Green Card after your MBA:

Employment-Based Green Card (EB-2/EB-3): Your employer can sponsor you, but it usually takes a few years and involves a lot of paperwork.

EB-5 Investor Visa: If you have a big budget (around $800,000 or more), you can invest in a U.S. business and get a Green Card through the EB-5 visa.

Quick Tip: Start the Green Card process as early as possible, especially if you’re on an H-1B visa, because it can take a long time.

Conclusion

Getting a work visa after MBA in USA can be a bit challenging, but with the right approach, it’s totally doable! Whether you’re aiming for an H-1B visa, starting with OPT, or thinking about the E-2 visa for your startup, it’s important to plan ahead.
