H4 re-Stamping or extension when changing employer.

[amitjain]

Hi All,
I am looking for some guidance on H4 Stamping.

My Family have H4 stamped till 14th Sept 2015 and have not traveled to US.
Recently I have changed the employer and I want them to stamp in India itself before coming to US.
I already got soft copy of my approved I797 A.

What are the document required for this?
Will this be treated as extension or new Visa?
Can they apply for drop box facility?

Please help me with above.

Regards,
Amit

Will this be treated as extension or new Visa?
>>> There is no extension in case of visa. Every visa is a new Visa. The old one will be cancelled.

Can they apply for drop box facility?
>>> If they qualify, then yes.

Thank you very much for the reply.
regarding drop box I went through link provided it talks about work visa (H and L) but nothing specific about dependent visa H4.
Can you please elaborate or point to other link.

Thanks!!
