Can an H4 visa holder work in the US?

 



Yes, an H-4 visa holder can work in the United States if they receive employment authorization from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS): 



Step

Details

Apply for authorization

File Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with USCIS

Receive authorization

USCIS will issue an Employment Authorization Document (EAD/Form I-766)

Begin working

Once approved, the EAD allows the H-4 visa holder to work in the US for any employer


H-4 visa holders can also apply for an automatic extension of work authorization if they file a timely renewal application for their H-4 EAD. This extension is only valid up to the expiration date of the current I-94. 



H-4 visa holders are not allowed to work in the US unless they receive employment authorization from USCIS. They also cannot obtain Social Security Numbers unless they have an EAD.
