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

**** **VISA Renewal Question ****
Hi Guys,
I came to US on H4 Visa (stamped till Oct'2016); My husband got his I140 approval (for GC) now and I have started working on EAD (which expires on Nov 2016).
I applied for I 94 extension yday (my Husband has stamping till Oct 2017; since he changed his employer) and got to know about the huge waiting queue; which leads to the fact that I will not get an extension before my EAD expires & will have to discontinue my job.
The only option we could think of was to pop out of the country (say,Mexico) & get my stamping done.
Can anyone advise on similar scenarios/ best work arounds/ any contacts?
Thanks in advance!
