Guys, it seems like dual status with TPS, but is NOT. Once TPS is granted, your current status is TPS until expiracy and during that time, you can change your status to any other status or come back to previous status if that previous status is maintained.
If your TPS is granted, your H4 status is on hold as long as H1 status is maintained by your spouse and once TPS expires, you can come back to H4 without any problem. If you apply for AP, you can travel through that AP and return back without H4 visa stamping or renewing. If you think you play safe with TPS and AP on hand, go to Nepal and apply for H4 visa renew and if that didnot work, you still have AP to return back, then my question is "Is your H4 status active ?", I guess NOT. So, there is no point to apply for H4 visa while on TPS with AP. Benefits of TPS is EAD, of course.
