Lost H4 approved document

Asked Nov 14, 2008, 09:32 AM — 1 Answer
Hi -
Hi-
I am on H4 dependent visa my wife is on H1 visa. We both applied for extension of visa and been approved by USCIS on october 10. I came to know this by USCIS website. On september 25 my wife asked me to leave the house and I left to my friends place in kingston RI.About 3 days back she sent me divorce notice, I called her to send my H4 approved document, but she refused to send the document. Now I am without any visa status document with me. She replied now and says she lost my H4 document sent by uscis. Can I get the copy of approval from uscis and how long does it take? How should I apply for that. How many dollars should I pay.
Please reply ASAP I am in urgent need of the document.
Your answer will be appreciated
Thank you!

Read this carefully and please do not post the same question over and over...

Ask police to escort you to the house and get your documents. As long as you are still "legally married", she has no right to stop you from entering the house but you need to get police to escort you there as she might accuse you of stealing or etc.

If you search the house and find your documents are lost or destroyed, then you must file police report. After that you have to contact USCIS in person. Normally USCIS won't re-issue this type of document... This is a complicated procedure, you may need an attorney to do this follow up on this part.

Maybe it's not worth it because she is filing for the divorce and your marriage will end in approx six months. Though H-4 extension is valid for over a year or two years but your legal status as H-4 is terminated as soon as the divorce is final. What you should do is either leave the country as soon as the divorce is final, or file a change of status to other non-immigrant status.
