Question regarding scheduling appointmnt and Drop box Eligibility

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I got a H1 Stamping along with my dependents H4 (Spouse and Kids) in Feb 2018 in Hyderbad and valid till Sep 2019. I came to USA alone and my family back in India. due to some unexpected issues my family could fly before the visa expiration. late I filled an extension and it's approved after i long time and valid till August 2022. Planning to go to Hyderabad India in June 2021. Previously (2018) scheduled the appointments as family members. And now I am eligible for the dropbox( interview waiver eligibility).

below is my case scenario 

a) Same Employer and VISA expired on Sep 2019. visa Extention approved till Aug 2022 with same employer.
 

As per guidelines I am eligible for Dropbox( interview waiver) But I have a query on Dropbox eligibility for my spouse and kids for H4 visa.

In https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ApplicantHome website it is mentioned like below.

Each visa applicant must independently meet the renewal category criteria <http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-visarenew.asp> to qualify for
interview waiver if applicable. Family/group member not eligible forrenewal category should apply individually.

So I am confusing with the above statement.

1) please clarify whether my dependants are eligible for Dropbox or not?
(Note: my dependants got stamped H4 visa previously but not traveled to USA till now and visa expired now)
2) if they are eligible for dropbox can I add them in my application as family and apply a single application for all or do I need to apply with separate(new user) login for my family?

if anyone had the same case/scenario please respond as soon as possible so that will be helpful to me a lot.

Thanks in advance

Regards.

Praveen.
