Hi All,
I have a little confisuion around H1B Visa waiver program.
I traveled to US on H1B in 2016 and recently received H1B extension for 2 years. Now, I am planning to go for H1B stamping in India along with my spouse, who never attended or got US Visa before (This is first time I am applying for H4).
I filled two different DS-160 forms one for me and one for my wife . Now I am trying to book an appointment @ https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ ,
Selected Visa class As H1 and filled personal details and added dependent (Spouse details with DS-160) and answered questions as below
Do you have a previous H-1B visa (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee)? - YES
Was your prior H1B visa (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) annotated ?Clearance Received? or ?Department Authorization?? - NO
Was your most recent visa (in the same class for which you are applying) lost or stolen? - NO
Have you ever been refused a H-1B (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) visa before? - NO
Is your previous H-1B visa (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) still valid? - No ( expired recently)
Did your previous H-1B visa (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) expire within the last 12 months? - Yes
Was your most recent H-1B visa (temporary occupation, temporary worker or trainee) issued in India after January 1, 2008? - Yes
Now I see below message ,
"Congratulations! You qualify for the Interview Waiver (No Appointment). Please do not schedule an appointment at the Visa Application Center or U.S. Embassy/Consulate.
When you click ?Continue? to proceed with your application."
Questions: Is this wavier applicable for me and my wife (who never applied for US visa) ? OR should I book different appointment for my wife with visa class H4?
Can someone please help by sharing your knowledge. Appreciate your help.
Thanks You...
