          Hi,

          I need few more clarifications related to the documents.

          I am currently employed and would be resigning after my H4 visa is done.So I have showed myself as employed in DS160 form.As per VFS site below are the docs which are required:

          Additional Supporting Documents required at the time of interview

          2.If applying for the dependent visa, carry Original Marriage Certificate (for spouse) along with your entire wedding photo album and Original Birth Certificate (for children), along with the principal applicant’s visa copy.
          3.If you are employed, carry a letter from employer detailing your position, salary, how long you have been employed with the company; the period of authorized vacation; and the purpose of your U.S. trip.
          4.It is also helpful to carry evidence of how the trip will be financed along with letters of deputation, invitation or sponsorship.
          5.Also carry evidence of financial resources through bank statements and tax returns for the past 3 years.

          Are the above documents mentioned in 3,4,5 required in my case as I am employed but will be resigning just after visa ? Also there is nothing like authorized vacation in my case.

          Also since I am taking the inetrview at Mumbai,please clarify which documents are required to be submitted to VFS 3 days ahead of the interview as the list in VFS website and that given in http://www.immihelp.com/india/usa-vi...ubmission.html dont match completely.

          1.In VFS website, , "original HDFC receipt (Embassy copy) is not mentioned whereas in Immihelp list its mentioned to submit this in the packet.Kindly clarify whether to include it in the packet or not?

          2.In VFS website,its not mentioned to submit principal applicant's I797 and I129 copies whereas immihelp says to include the same for dependant cases.


          Please help in answering these doubts.Thanks a lot in advance.

          Thanks,
          Rythm

            Rhythm09,

            You are looking at the wrong section on VFS web site.

            Even for H4 visa, you need to follow the work visa section (H, L etc., which is not meant for just H1, L1 etc, but all H, L etc.) You were looking into 'Others' section.
