Can Husband and Wife Who Have H1Bs from Two Different Companies Attend One Visa Interview Slot
Hi there,

My wife and I both have H1b visas and we are planning a trip to India in November. My wife and I work for different companies and we need to attend the US consulate in Chennai for visa stamping.

Can both my wife and I book one slot- meaning- can both of us attend the interview for the same timeslot and date without having to book two separate appointments?

If that can be done - my wife has already booked her slot and I am looking to add my name for the same date and slot. However I am not sure what option to choose - Should I choose 'Group Scheduling Request' or should I add myself in "Step 6: Please click “Add by Name” or "Add Existing Applicant" if you have a group/family member (including a child) who needs to apply for a visa with you." This page is tagged under 'Dependents', so I am confused.

Please advice.

H1 interview experience
Attended H1B interview 8/20 at Mumbai. I am FTE, working for same company for ~4 years. Total time spend in US is ~8 years. This was 4th stamping in total, second with this company. First extension after I140. VO asked 3-4 simple questions - what does company do, your designation, salary, if you work inhouse etc. Then gave 221g green with first box checked (Your application requires additional administrative processing. This office will contact you via email). He retained the passport. Anybody has gone through same situation?

Thanks.

H4 EAD stamping experience
I am on H4 EAD. I am working through a staffing firm for their client on W2 contract. When I go for stamping do I carry employment letter of the staffing firm or need to get a letter from the client? Also in DS-160 do I write my employers name or their client’s name?

Can I reschedule my visa interview appointment past actual interview date
Hi everyone, My initial visa interview appointment was scheduled on September 19th 2019, I recently rescheduled it on August 26th 2019 but due to severe sickness I am not able to attend the interview on given date so if I reschedule it again will this be my last chance and further I won't be able to reschedule it again??or is there any option based on medical illness.

Suppose I have only one chance left can I reschedule it after my actual interview date because now if I reschedule it may take more than 2 months to get appointment since only 3days left for me to reschedule my interview. Kindly let me know the best possible way to reschedule it.

Thanks in advance.
