I want to know the process that I need to follow for processing their Visa (H4).
Is there any document that I need to send from here for the Visa stamping?
Also,let me know do I need to send any original document of mine.
Please let me know the process.

They need to get their H4 visa stamped based on your original H1B approval notice and when approved, they can travel to U.S. At the POE they need to show your original H1B approval notice and they will get a I-94 matching the expiry date of your approval notice. Make sure their passports are valid for more than a year. Check the below link for the list of documents required for H4 stamping.

In addition, do send them your employment verification letter from your employer and a client letter if you are working at the client location.

Does the dependent necessarily carry the original I797? or as mentioned in the link in htis thread a copy is fine as officer can pull up info on PIMS? The vfs redirected site's call center agent said ONLY original is acceptable? Is the information in this thread current as of 2013?
