H4 stamping without h1 stamping - after 6 years
Hello, I wanted to share my experience. I had my last H-4 stamping in 2013 and it was valid until mid 2016. I always had renewal before the previous one expired. My husband and I did not get stamping since then, we only had valid status. We lived in states and did not travel to any other country in between. I was nervous to come by myself for stamping after so long so wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Current situation: I visited India after 6 years and went for interview at consulate while my husband is in US and I had his valid status document (i797) but not his stamping.

New Delhi
2/3 - Biometrics - turned out I had made a mistake on my DOB on DS-160, I was asked to correct it and come back and if i could not before they closed then I would need to reschedule my visa appointment. My original appointment was at 3pm so I had time to get things fixed thankfully. There are shops close by that will help you do it, they will charge a rather ridiculous amount but the work will get done.
I went back to biometrics in 30 mins and got my fingerprinting and photo done. They updated DS number on my appointment and said I did not need to do anything else.

2/4 - Visa interview
Went through the queue and got to document verification counter before the interview. They asked for copy of visa stamp for my husband and I mentioned that he had not done one yet after the last one that expired in 2016. I had already given i797 and copy of his old passport with all visa stamps and his new passport copy.

Visa Interview
VO: Hello, please pass the documents
Me: Hello, how are you?
VO: Very well
Me: I gave my husband's latest i797 (copy), old passport copy with stamp and my original passport
Me: Do you also need my original renewal document?
VO: No, just the primary applicants
VO: why are you visiting India?
Me: I am visiting my family here
VO: Is your husband currently in US?
Me: Yes
VO: When did he start working for xyz?
Me: Answered
VO: Do you have kids?
Me: Not yet
VO: *smiles*
VO: Where do you both live in states and how long have you been married?
Me: Answered
VO: Did you study in US as well, where and what degree?
Me: Yes, gave details
VO: Please see this document, do you know of your rights in US? (he pointed to a booklet at his window)
Me: Yes
VO: Your visa is approved. You should get your passport back in about a week.
Me: Thank you

If you are spouse on H-4 and your husband has not received his stamping, you can still go and get your stamping done
You do not need to carry original i797 of your spouse
Carry extra documents and copy of his old (and new) passport as well as all the stamps on pages
