This is the first time me and my wife will be using Dropbox for visa stamping. Just wanted to know the procedure. Do we carry our documents individually or all of them together in one folder? Do we need to carry originals and 1 copy? Do we need to carry scanned copies in a flash drive? Can we submit any/all supporting documents or just the ones specified in the confirmation email? Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Me and my spouse are planning to travel to visit Mexicofor a week in Jan/Feb 2019. We both have Indian passports. I currently hold valid H1B (I797) until Nov 2020. My spouse has a valid H4 (I539) with EAD until Nov 2020. However, our stamping (H1B and H4) on passport expired in Sept 2019. I read from various forums that one can re-enter US with expired H1B stamping as long as we have valid I797 using Automatic re-validation rule. But is this rule valid even for spouses of H1B who are on H4 (stamping expired) and have valid I539? I would like to know if anyone tried this process recently from either Mexico and is there any risk associated? Also, is automatic re-validation applied even when flying back into USA or is it applied only at road border crossing? Since we currently do not have valid visa stamp on our passports, do we need to obtain Mexican Visa? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am an Indian currently working on H4 with EAD. I got my H4 stamping done in India. I am a full-time employee with a non-IT reputed firm. I am currently having H4 to H1 COS. I was planning to get my H1 stamping done in Canada so I don't have to travel to India. However, my attorney advised going to India since this is my first H1B stamping (although I have H4 stamping done in India). Technically, am I allowed to go to Canada/ for first H1B stamping? Any real risks of going to Canada vs going to India? Thanks.

I am currently on H4 EAD. I have been working as consultant for company A (non-IT firm) since last year. This employment is directly through Company A. Considering uncertainty of H4 EAD, I approached staffing agency (Agency B) in Feb 2019 to file for H1. My hope was to get H1 through Agency B and work for Company A via the staffing Agency B. Even before I knew the outcome of H1 lottery, Company A offered full-time job which I accepted. After couple of weeks of accepting full time offer, my H1B through Agency B got picked in the lottery and is currently under process. If H1B with Agency B is approved, I am unsure of its impact on my employment with Company A. My goal has always been (and is still is) to work for Company A. 1. Will H1 approval invalidate my current H4 EAD? If yes, when? Oct 1 or as soon as H1B approval? 2. If H1 is approved (before Oct 1), can I transfer it from Agency B to Company A immediately? If not, when can I transfer it? 3. Will my H1B approval force me to take a break from my full-time employment with Company A during/before/while H1 transfer? 4. What is the best way to transfer H1 from Agency B to Company A without causing any employment break? Thank you.
