First time H4 visa interview_Does my wife need separate I797 approved ?

[pankaj24]

Hello All, 

I am in USA on H1B VISA, got stamped for first time recently in March 2017. After that I got married. Now I want to get my wife here in USA and applied for her H4 visa and she will be attending her H4 Visa interview on 9th June at Hyderabad. She has never been to USA before.

After reading some forums I got curious to know about requirement of I-797 of her own. My question is as below.

Does she need to carry her own I-797 notice approved on her name ? Well, I don't have that one. 

or she needs to carry the copy of my I-797 approval notice ? my original I-797 is with me.   OR  she needs to carry  my original notice ?

Since my wife has interview in next 3 days, any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

Pankaj.

@Rohang, thank you for your quick response. 

Got it. Will copy of my I-797 work ? Original I-797 is with me. I have sent her copy of my original I-797 to carry for the interview.

Thanks in advance.
