H4 Who is the visa holder? Not allowed to work in America. Your spouse must know this clearly when attending the interview. During the interview, the official will ask you if he/she will try to find a job while in the United States. If officials think that your spouse will find a job in the United States, your spouse will be refused a visa.

H4 visa holders can obtain a driver's license and open and operate bank accounts.

H4 visa holders can also register in American universities, but he/she can't take part-time jobs allowed by F 1 visa.

Children under H4 visa do not need F 1 visa to study in American schools.

Although the H4 visa procedure does not distinguish between husband and wife applying for H4 dependency, the husband who tries to obtain H4 through his wife's H- 1B usually finds this process more difficult and faces more rejection than his wife applying for H4 dependency through H-1b.
