chitravenkata Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Am in H4 Visa. Our H1 & H4 visas expires on mar 3,2012. Next week we are applying for both the extensions in Premium. Hopefully, we get the approval by oct end. In between, Can i go for a trip to india ? or after getting approval, can i make a 2 months trip for nov/jan? Can I TRAVEL ? Though, i couldnt go for stamping before march, After i return from india, DO I NEED TO REAPPLY FOR H4 EXTENSION AGAIN (since i go alone to india)? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Your post is a tad confusing. The only requirement for you to come back is the H4 visa and your spouses latest approved H1 petition. Link to comment
chitravenkata Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 My H4 is valid until march 2012. Have applied for the h1/h4 extension. What is the impact of Traveling to India when H1/H4 extension approval is in process ? Do i need to reapply for the extension, after i return from india? Link to comment
chitravenkata Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I have my visa stamped until mar,2012. So, i can come back with his latest h1 documents. & most importantly, i dont need to apply again for H4 extension, after my return to u.s. The same H4 extension approval(approved when i was in travel to india) is valid. Is that right? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 The H4 extension approval is IMMATERIAL. You can come back with a facially valid H4 visa and your spouses latest H1 petition for the sponsor he is working for at that time. H1 extension is a new petition. H4 extension is merely a status extension based on the H1 extension. Link to comment
chitravenkata Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks for your reply pontevecchio. If i want to get stamping in india, how early can i go for visa interview, before the expiration date? My visa expires on MARCH 3,2012. If i plan 1 month trip to india during november, CAN I GO for visa stamping during NOVEMBER,2011 itself? Is it too early or is there any time limit before expiration, to attend the visa interview? Please advise me. Thanks. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 "If i want to get stamping in india, how early can i go for visa interview, before the expiration date?" That would be based on the consulate. So please email them or ask them. Link to comment
