Vivek Mishra Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi all, I am planning to travel to India and I am planning to get stamping done as well. I am on H1 and Eligible for Dropbox facility.(current petition valid till 2022, last stamping is valid till 2021 from a previous employer) My Wife was previously on h1 but she did a status change to H4 few weeks back(approved with H4 EAD) , so she is on h4 now. As per my understanding, since her last visa was in a different class, she is not eligible for dropbox, . (Please correct If I am wrong) If I go for dropbox, I will get my passport in a week or so (best case scenario), but can my wife schedule for in person interview with my current 797? or she can only go for interview once my passport is stamped? should I just send my wife's passport along with my passport in my dropbox ? should I wait for my passport to be stamped and then schedule the appointment for my wife's stamping? Please suggest. Thanks Vivek Quote Link to comment

gopalakrishnach Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 1. Since last stamp from previous employer is valid till 2021 no need for H1B stamping. You can carry passport with visa stamp and 2022 approval H1B. No need of new stamping. 2. Since H1B do not need visa stamping H4 can go visa interview alone and she will get easily. Carry old H1B and new H1B approals along with H1B visa copy. Quote Link to comment
