Hi

Am from Pittsburgh in Pensilvania state in US.

If your husband gets an H1B visa u can get only H4 dependent Visa. An H4 dependent holder cannot work in Visa. But if your husband gets a L1 visa u can apply for L2, on which u have a work permit. But dont know which visa a doctor would get....??!

And one more thing is even u can apply for an H1B if u are professionally qualified and willing to work in US and if u could get an H1B sponsor for u.

If u come in H4, definitely u cannot work, as the law itself prohibits that. But if u wanna study u can and u dont need an education visa.

Trust this is of some help to you !

Welcome to US in advance !wave:wave

Warm regards :thumbsup

Hi, I am in US on H-4 visa. You cannot work legally on H-4 in US. The only thing you can do is volunteer work on H-4. To work here you should have your own H1 visa. Welcome to US and all the best.
