Can I submit W2 copies for H4 stamping?

[KumarN]

Consulate appt: Chennai

I am currently in U.S. My wife has to get her H4 stamping as the previous one expired. I have a valid I-797 approval.

I provided I-797 copy and latest pay slips , tax return documents.
Also gave the W2 copies

Do we need original W2's???


Appreciate your help!!

W2 copies are fine. I797 original is needed for stamping.

In the VFS links.. I found that I-797 copy is fine..for H4.

Well, depending on the VO a copy of I-797 might or might not work. If a 221g is issued, then it will take a long time to get the H4 stamped. Check the below link for the list of documents required.

Interesting...don't I need the I-797 when I stay in U.S... I got my this renewed H1 approval.. last year.

Valid passport and a valid I-94 is enough to stay in U.S. Cut the bottom portion of the approval notice and keep it with you. Also, keep a copy of your I-797 with you (Top portion of the approval notice). Ask your spouse to bring the original approval notice safe after stamping.
