  • H1/H4 Stamping related question - Please HELP!

    Hi everyone,

    Here is my case:

    I came to US on student visa and completed my MS in May 2005. I recently got my H1 approved in a company where i am doing OPT. My H1 visa starts from October 1st 2005.

    I plan to visit INDIA in November 2005 and get my H1B stamping done from Mumbai Consulate and am also getting married to during the same visit.

    Q1. Can i get my wife's H4 stamping done on the same day AS my H1B stamping interview appointment? i.e. take VISA appointment for 2 applicants in H/L category? are you aware of anyone who has done that before?

    IF ANSWER TO Q1 is YES then Q2

    Q2. On the VFS site (visa-services.com for Mumbai consulate) it is clearly stated for H4 applicants they need following for taking an appointment:

    H4/ L2:
    1. Form I-797 (Notice of Action) of the principal applicant in original. For L2 visa, if the I- 797 is a blanket permit, then photocopy of I-797 and form I-129.
    2. Photocopy of the principal applicant's valid H1B/L1 visa [ H1B stamping for me will be done on the same day, so what should we submit instead for getting an appointment date? cant it be presented on the same day?]

    3. It is mandatory to submit a photocopy of the marriage certificate if applying for a dependent (H4/L2) visa. [We are getting married on Nov 21st 2005. i.e. during my next visit to INDIA and if we take a H4 date after we get married then it will be 3 more months. So is it ok if she presents the marraige certificate at the time of INTERVIEW? since i am in U.S. we can only sign the marraige certificate when i land in INDIA and which will be ofcourse before the VISA interview / stamping date. Has anyone beein in similar Situation Before ????]

    Eagerly waiting for a response. Thanks for your time.

    Regards,

    Dubey

      Regarding H1B Documents

      I am currently working on my OPT, and my H1 Starts from Oct 1st 2005. I want to get my stamping done in Canada as i am planning to go to India during Last week of Oct. Is it necessary to take paystub after my H1 has started? Please let me know.

      Thanks

        s-jasti99,
        Can you please tell me if you know of many cases where the stamping from F1 to H1 or H1 extensions have been successful at the US borders. I only seem to know of many people whose visas have been refused at the borders and they have been specifically asked to go back to their homeland.
