Any potential probs at boarder on H4 if H1b not with us and still overseas
I'm probably overthinking and imagining problems. Still, it seems prudent to check.
We're all visiting family in UK and return later this week. There's a chance my husband may follow later. Will the kids and I encounter any problem at US POE on our H4s if he's not with us? (Not sure how literal all this 'dependent' stuff is). |

No it's not a problem.

Hopefully someone else can clarify. Ian |

Sh1t that is my fear. Things I'm seeing on google seem to say the same.
Seems like all stops need to be pulled out to ensure we're travelling together. We travelled to UK independently, me ahead with the kids and on separate tickets to him, obvs; there may be issues with his flight home hence this problem. |

I hope you're right and I may be testing this process the hard way, but my efforts will be to try and get him on the same flight.
The H-1B holder has to have already, at some point been in the US, to "activate" the H-1B, but he doesn't have to be in the US every time you re-enter. |

Ok that's a relief that I misunderstood. Re-reading, Ian's post was perfectly clear but I must have been too rushed or distracted.
My husband has of course been in the US. I won't bore with the details of our flights and the likely problem with his. But if I end up travelling ahead it's good news that it doesn't matter one bit at POE |

Hasn't your husband been in the US already on his H1 and you all just traveled (albeit separately) to the UK for a visit? Numerous people, including my husband many years ago, have entered on H4 or L2 without their spouses with them. This is when the spouse has already entered the US or changed status in the US to a H-1B/L-1. |
