  • Court marriage for H-4 visa

    I have a few questions regarding application for my wife's H-4 visa. The scenario is "I am working in US on H-1 Visa and I am planning to come to India for 10 days and get registrar marriage in court.

    Based on the above scenario, my questions are:

    1. Can I apply for my wife's H-4 Visa along with my H-1 Visa, i.e. can we get a single appointment for the visa since all the documents for myself and my wife will be the same
    2. Since, it is a court marriage, we would not have an invitation card printed and also we will not have the Hindu marriage ceremony pictures to show to the consulate office. Will the marriage certificate itself suffice as a proof of our marriage?
    3. What supporting documents are required for H-4 visa other than the following ?
    a. I-797 of principal applicant (i.e. me)
    b. I-129 of principal applicant (i.e. me)
    c. Marriage certificate (to prove the marriage)

    Please let me know.
    Thanks,

    1. Can I apply for my wife's H-4 Visa along with my H-1 Visa, i.e. can we get a single appointment for the visa since all the documents for myself and my wife will be the same
    >>> Yes, you can. Need to chose the "Family Option" while completing the visa application.

    2. Since, it is a court marriage, we would not have an invitation card printed and also we will not have the Hindu marriage ceremony pictures to show to the consulate office. Will the marriage certificate itself suffice as a proof of our marriage?
    >>> Marriage certificate is enough.
