Hello Friends,
5 minutes of your time would be a great help. Some details about me before I ask my questions -
Working in US on H1-B with employer A since: Aug 2014
Petition by A approved until: 31 Dec 2015
Job Change: Sep 2015
New Petition by B approved until: Aug 2018
Marriage: 14 Dec 2015 (in India)
Desired Visa interview: Between 20 Dec to 25 Dec
Planned return: End of Dec 2015
As you have already seen few details pertaining to my questions, after marriage I am planning to bring my wife along with me. Few questions I have are -
1. By doing some research so far I came to know that I would have to go for my Visa stamping (for the new petition from B) since my original petition from A is getting expired. Please confirm if this is correct.
2. As said I am thinking of getting an interview date between 20 Dec to 25 Dec so that I have my marriage certificate ready by that time.What is the best time to fill the DS-160 and schedule appointment for Visa interview? Can I fill the DS-160 right away and schedule appointment for me and my wife? I heard there is 30 days validity for DS-160, but I am not sure if the validity is from submitting the form, scheduling the interview TO actual interview date? Please guide me on this.
3. Can I also apply visa for my mother along with our visas? Will there be any problem or chances of rejection?
4. I have also heard that if the spouse arrives in US before 31st Dec of the year, you can claim tax refunds by filing as married man. Is this true? Are there any issues/problems I should be aware of?
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks much!!
