  • H4 visa stamping Rules

    Hello,
    My wife and kids are planning to visit india in this summer . My visa has been expired ( H1) . I am working in US on H1B papers ( extension ) .

    My questions

    1. For H4 to get visa stamped over in India , Is it mandatory for primary applicant ( H1B - my self ) needs to be on valid visa ? Or can they get it done based on my Extension papers ?

    If yes , Is it any recent change in rule? I have a friend who is same as my case but their H4 got stamped based on his extension INS papers. this is in way back 2007 .

    I did spoke with some of my friends... Some are saying that primary applicant's visa should be valid at the time of H4 visa re-entry stamping .. Some are saying it is not required . This is confusing ..

    pls clarify . Appreciate your answers and inputs .

    Your friends are wrong. H4 can get a stamp without the H1 holder having a stamp on an extension.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
