Applying for H4 during my Visit to stamp my H1 extension

[seahawk789]

Hi all,

I have a situation that I need to understand if I might run into any issues. Looking forward for your help.

I am currently in US and my H1B VISA is valid till Jun 2015. My wife who is in India does not have H4 visa as of now. I am planning to come to India for my H1B extension stamping on Jul 2015. I am planning to club both my H1B extension stamping and application for my wife's H4 stamping when I am coming to Chennai Consulate for stamping. Is it possible to club these together? Or do I need to get my VISA first stamped for the extension and once I get the new VISA with the extended date should I go with my wife separately for her H4 (on another dates) ? Please clarify.

Thanks.
Prem

It is possible to have both the visa appointments H1, and H4 for your spouse to be together.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
