Query Regarding H4 Transfer and Travel to India

[place_holder]

Hello,

I recently applied for H1B premium processing, and my case has been approved.

My wife’s H4 transfer is still in progress, and she is scheduled to travel to India on March 5, 2025, along with our 5-month-old baby. She plans to return to the U.S. in September 2025.

Will her travel have any impact on her H4 transfer process from an immigration perspective? What will happen to her pending H4 case once she departs the U.S.?

I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Will her travel have any impact on her H4 transfer process from an immigration perspective? What will happen to her pending H4 case once she departs the U.S.?

H4 is never transferred to the employer, for H4 its only a extension of status.

Ideally extension of status application do not get impacted if the beneficiary travels outside of the US while the application is being processed however when the case is approved the beneficiary technically needs to be in the US.

Will her visa be valid at the time of reentry in September or is she going for a visa stamping while in home country?

When is her current I-94 expiring?
