Letter Format written by spouse for dependent visa(H4)

[maniradhika16]

Hi,
Can any one send me the letter format which the principle applicant (H1B holder)has to write to the embassy for dependent visa(H4).

Thank you in advance

You don't need a letter from your spouse.
You might need a letter from spouse's H1 employer though, which also may not be asked by visa officer.

Hi OP,

As already mentioned - letter is not required from Spouse (H1) but it is good to have the letters from you and employer's side stating the details about H1.

Still I am mentioning the format just for your peace of mind....

It is good to have a letter from the primary H1B holder addressed to USCIS stating that he/she will support the dependent on all financial needs and he/she will make sure the depends won't work upon receiving the H4 status. There is no specific format.
