raji.852 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hello, I came across this old post - http://forum.murthy.com/index.php?/topic/27958-h1b-visa-stamping-extension-in-pregnancy/?hl=pregnant What's the truth in the above link? Are there any issues for pregnant women for stamping? I will be traveling to India in the end of April, during my 5th month and will have to get my visa stamped for H1. Thanks, any response will be appreciated. Raji Link to comment

H4renewal Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 my personal suggestion.. avoid stamping, I am also avoiding for my wife H4 visa stamping now she is 6th month already and avoiding to Go Canada for stamping.. Reason is just 221g with "Admin process" any time, many people suggested and also told hide pregnancy during "First time" stamping, or renewal time.. just Think "Admin Process" if arrived and lets assume if that process will take 4 to 5months... you can not travel at that stage.. you must have to born baby in India. that means your baby will be Indian citizen not USA citizen by birth.. I hope you understand the difference between " baby Born in India" and baby Born in USA.. once your baby born in India, you have to apply for H4 stamping and same story for stamping etc. This is my personal matter so, I am avoiding now... decision is yours.

If you maintain H1B status in US and your spouse have all valid documents for H4 stamping then for what reason your spouse will get 221G? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 In the current era opportunities are the same if not better in India given Credentials. Pregnancy has not been a legal reason and is not a legal reason to deny your H1 visa. Strange but true.. This remains a country of Laws. Link to comment
