Waiting for H1B stamping , spouse on H1B in US - Will stamping be allowed now under the new exception?

USA H1B Visa
#1

hi,

I had completed my 6 years tenure in US and travelled to India in Mar 2019 , my perm & I140 was under processing at that time. I got the approved work permit in Mar 2020 and was waiting for a date for stamping . My wife is on H1B and in US currently along with my kids.
The new order for exception cases for spouse will that be applicable for my case or it is only for H4 in India and H1b in US?

Yes, you can go to US on H4. You need H4 stamping to be done first. You are exempt, if you go for H4 stamping as your wife is in US on H1B.
