EXTREMELY URGENT - H1 approved while outside the US, entering US with H4, will approved H1 get cancelled?
I was out of the US when my H1 was applied for. I am still out of the
country but my H1 petition has been approved though I don't have it in
hand. I assume it will be a I-797 without the I-94.
I am going for H4 visa at a consulate in my home country.
Does anyone know if the already approved H1 gets cancelled since H4 was
done after H1 approval?
Once in the US on H4 and eventually when I get the H1 approval notice
in hand, I am hoping I can go to Canada for stamping with the approval
notice and reenter the country so that I can start working.
Thanks much in advance!!!

That would have been my ideal scenario. There has been a probelem with
the approval notice. My employer hasn't received it yet.
Question still remains:
Does the H1 approval gets cancelled if the person goes for H4 and
enters the country on H4?

No. Why should it?

I was wondering if H4 visa kind of overwrites the already approved H1
since H4 is done later. You know? Last status wins..or something like
that

The information provided at this site is of a general nature and may
not apply to any particular set of facts or under all circumstances. It
should not be construed as legal advice and does not establish an
attorney-client relationship.
-------------------------
Assuming you have an original I-797 Approval Notice for the H-4 in
hand, you should be able to enter as an H-4 visa holder notwithstanding
the impending H-1B. The only thing to be wary of is H-4 visa holders
may not work without special governmental dispensation (i.e., they
can't work). So, if you are interviewed upon entry and asked if you
work, as an H-4 visa holder, you should not respond in the negative.
Once you arrive in the U.S., you may adopt H-1B status based on your
I-797 Approval Notice. When you exit the U.S. subsequent to beginning
work on your H-1B, you will then re-enter with a new H-1B visa imprint
and I-94 card reflecting the dates of your H-1B authorized period of
stay. ww.StrongVisa.com
