- Had approved H1b+H4s from Sep-2018 to Sep-2021.
- 2nd Job: H1b transfer from June-2019 to Dec-2021. H4 extension not applied at the time.
- Applied H4 extension in Aug-2021 for duration Sep-2021 to Dec-2021 before H4s approved in point #1 expired with H1b from point#2.
- I (H1b) had to travel outside urgently alone in Oct-2021. Got a new H1b visa stamp till Dec-2021 and back.
- Applied H1b + H4 extensions from Jan-2022 to Dec-2024. All approved.
- H4s applied for Sep-2021 from Dec-2021 in point #3 above got RFE in Mar-2022 asking for latest H1b approval. Replied with H1b from point #5 from Jan-2022 to Dec-2024. This H4 petition was also approved with duration Jan-2022 to Dec-2024. Now, have two H4 approvals from Jan-2022 to Dec-2024 but no H4 i797 with duration Sep-2021 to Dec-2021.
- 3rd Job: H1b transfer with H4s till 2025 applied later in 2022. All approved.
- Another H1b amendment approved till 2027.
Will absence of approved H4 i797 between Sep-2021 to Dec-2021 cause any issues if I go for a visa(h1b+h4) interview (with 2027 h1b)?
Especially because the primary H1b travelled outside in that duration with visa stamp in Oct-2021.
Did USCIS not give any approval for Sep-2021 to Dec-2021 because when they opened the i-539 in Mar-2022, the dates applied for were already in the past?
