H4 Visa Renewal

[sparky_0408]

I am currently in US on H4 visa and my visa expires on Sept 2016. I got my first visa stamping from India. I have few questions regarding this scenario.

1) Is there any time limit before I have to start the extension process?

2) Is it true that I can get my visa stamped in India under IWP (Interview waiver program)?

3) Do I have to attend the visa interview, fingerprinting and biometrics again if I go for visa stamping in any of the neighboring countries(Canada/Mexico)?

Can someone please help me with these questions?

Thanks

1) Is there any time limit before I have to start the extension process?
>>> Extension can be filed within 6 months from the I-94 expiry date. Sooner yu begin the process, it is better. Because it takes about 5-6 months these days to get a decision.

2) Is it true that I can get my visa stamped in India under IWP (Interview waiver program)?
>>> If you are eligible, then YES.

>>> That depends on where you attend the visa interview. If you plan to attend the visa interview in a third nation country, then check the appropriate U.S consulate to figure out if they have a visa interview waiver program and if that is applicable to third nation citizens.
