H1 and H4(EAD) Visa Stamping Drop Box Question

Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I am on H1B and my visa got expired on Jan'2016.

If i travel out of country I need to go for stamping.

Last time stamped for same employer in 2013 (went to OFC followed by Consulate appointment)

 

My wife was on H4 last year and she applied & got approval for H4 EAD in Aug'2015 and she started working in a company since Nov'15

 

There is no change on my end as i have been working for same company for 7 years.

My wife holds H4 EAD, started her first job.

 

I know I am eligible for Drop Box. However I am not sure about my wife? Can you please clarify?

 

Have any one come across this situation and successfully did dropbox?

Hello,

 

I have a similar situation as well. My H1B visa is valid till Sep 30th, 2016 and i am going to India in August. My extension along with my wife's H4 has been approved until Sep 2019. I am with the same employer as my stamping for last time so I qualify for dropbox, however my wife has expired H1B visa in her passport and is currently in H4 status (with approved EAD). The online scheduling tool asked me questions which allow me to qualify for the dropbox and did not ask anything about my wife's situation even though we are applying together. 

 

Would be helpful if someone can clarify if my wife needs an appointment or should be good to go if we submit dropbox together? 

 

Thank you..

hello 

wave2010,

I also plan to travel to india in oct 2016,

My current H1B visa expired on 30sept 2016  and my visa has been extended till sept2019.

 

My wife was on H1B visa but she got converted to H4/EAD. Her H4 /EAD starts from 1st October.

 

 

When i try to take appointment it mentions i am eligible for drop box but i am not sure if my wife is also eligible.

Could you share your experience?

THANK YOU

Hello

I have a similar situation as well. My husbands H1B visa is valid till July 2017 and we are going to India in July. My husbands extension along with my H4(EAD) has been approved until DEC 2019.

My husband is eligible for dropbox, however I changed my visa from H1 to H4 status (with approved EAD). The online scheduling tool shows my husband is qualified for the dropbox and did not ask anything about my situation even though we are applying together. 

Would be helpful if someone can clarify if I need an appointment or should be good to go if we submit dropbox together?
