Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for H4 visa holders allows H4 visa dependent spouses of H1B nonimmigrants to legally work in the United States. 

In this situation there is an imminent danger for continuation of your visa once your marriage is dissolved by a decree of divorce through an US court, you need to take extra care about that aspect.

Your husband cannot be able to revoke without a divorce decree.

Although your husband or spouse can't cancel your spouse visa, the Home Office does have the power to do so.

In most cases, after notifying the Home Office of the separation, your spouse visa will be curtailed to 60 days. You should use this time to apply for leave to remain or to leave the country.

If you return to India and if your visa is still valid till September this year, you can very well travel back since your visa is valid till then.

The USA court will grant divorce even without you participating in the divorce proceedings.

But that will not be recognised as legally valid divorce in India for the marriage that was solemnised in India as per Indian laws.

Dear client,  

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing in your marriage. It's important to understand your rights and options in this situation.

Divorce proceedings: If your husband files for divorce in the US, you can seek legal counsel to represent you in the court proceedings. You may also want to seek a restraining order if you believe your safety is at risk.

Dowry demands: Dowry demands are illegal in India and you can file a complaint with the police. However, it may be difficult to prove the demands were made and that your husband was involved in them.

H4 EAD: Your husband cannot cancel your H4 EAD. The H4 EAD is a work authorization document that is independent of your marital status. However, if your husband is the primary H1B visa holder and he cancels his visa, your H4 status and EAD will also be cancelled.

Reconciliation: If you still love your husband and want to try to reconcile, you may want to consider seeking the help of a marriage counselor. However, it's important to prioritize your own safety and well-being.

It's recommended that you seek the advice of a qualified immigration attorney to understand the impact of a divorce on your immigration status and to explore your options for resolving your marital issues.
