Change Petition number after appointment taken
Hi all,
I am planning to go to Canada for my H1B extension.
However, i am not seeing any appointment available in July or August and I am still waiting on the USCIS for my H1B extension thus with new petition number.
Is it possible if i see an appointment aviable in July in Canada to take the appointment with my old petition number and then change it once i get the H1B extension with new number?
Thanks for your response

Interview Process for Dropbox submission in Hyderabad
Hello,
Myself (H1B) and My wife (H4) are eligible for Dropbox option and have submitted our documents on 06/16/2016 and on 06/17/2016 I got an update on the status.
"You case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. if you have already had your interview, please check you status after two business days. if no interview was required, please check back in two business days for the status of your application."
My Questions:
1. I had given finger prints in December 2014 for the H1B visa stamping. should I go for fingerprints again?
2. Should I schedule an appointment for interview? if yes, what is the process to schedule an interview after the Dropbox submission? if no, whom should I contact and what is the process to attend the interview?
3. Can I use my Dropbox confirmation letter as interview letter and go for the interview?
please help.
Thanks
Shyam

H4 Visa for dependents
Hi,
I have a query regarding my dependents visa.
Currently I am on H1 from company A . I will be changing to company B.
My current visa is valid upto AUG2017 from company A. Dependent H4 also valid upto Aug2017.
Now, once I transfer my H1 to company B, will the dependent H4 visa still valid?
My dependents are still not in US. Can they travel with the existing H4 from company A or should i get a new H4 visa based on the new H1 approval from my new employer?
Please advise on this.
Regards,
Smita
