H4 - questions on DS160

[Ramya Balasubramanian]

Dear Sir / M'am,

I am residing in India and applying for a H4. I have a few questions while filling the DS 160 form.

 

PERSON / ENTITY PAYING FOR YOUR TRIP :  Options available : 

a) SELF

b) US PETITIONER

c) OTHER PERSON

d) PRESENT EMPLOYER

e) EMPLOYER IN THE US

f) OTHER COMPANY / ORGANIZATION

I had mentioned as "Other Person" in the list of above options 

Question 1 - Let me know if " Other person " is the precise option for a H4 ?

I had given the details of my husband,  as the one who will be sponsoring my trip subsequently after selecting the option as "Other person".

 

Question 2 -  Is I-134 (Affidavit of Support) form necessary to be filled by my husband and to be available during the visa interview ? 

Requesting your advise on this.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Mrs.Ramya Ravisankar

1. B or C both are acceptable answers.

2. I don't think I134 is needed for H4 visa.

Hi!

It is okay to pick “Other Person” and provide details of your spouse as the person paying for the trip. 

In general, form I-134 is not needed for a H4 application. However, under the current administration, with importance being given for the public charge clause, it does not harm to carry the form I-134 with supporting documents and present the same if the necessity arises.
