H4 Approval Notice required for Visa Stamping?

[saravanans1980]

Hi All,

I am planning to go for vacation in India and also I am eligible for Stamping.

Here, I received I-797A Approval Notice for Primary Applicant and I have receipt notice and biometrics for my dependents(H4).
My dependent H4 visa is approved, but I didn't receive Approval Notice from UCSIS. I am requesting them to send the document on that.

Do we need H4-Approval Notice for Visa Stamping even though I have H1-Approval Notice?

If you guys have any experience please share it..Thanks.

Note: My Visa is ending on 31-Dec-2021. If I request Approval Notice for H4, they may ask file I-824, which will take 6 weeks to get it with cost of $425.

Thanks,
Saravanan

No , H4 approval notice is not required for H4 stamping.

Hi Member,

Answer: If H4 petition is approved then it is really good for carrying the approval notice..

Thanks
