I’m in US on H1B status from Jan’06 Till date. My I-797 is valid till Jul’11. I donot have any pay stubs on the current employer as I did not work since Aug’08. I want to change my status to H4 as my spouse is working. Spouse employer is asking for my paystubs and incase I donot provide, they say RFE will be issued.

1) Incase I apply for H4, RFE is issued, can I show my spouse’s paystubs? Or what will be a better option.

2) I need to check if my H1B is Valid/Revoked as I’m not in touch with my employer. In USCIS website, currently case status is in “DECISION” step and stating that case is approved on Aug’08. Does this mean my H1B status is still valid? Let me know if there is any other way to find out my status.

Any suggestions would be appreciate.
