abhidesh Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Hello, I am on a H1B visa. My wife currently lives and works in Canada, and we have an appointment for her H4 visa interview at the US Consulate in Toronto. I have a couple of questions regarding the acceptability of documents as a third-country national. We are both Indian nationals and recently got married in India. Our marriage certificate is in the local language and also in English, and clearly states our names, wedding date and place, and the registration number. It is certified by the state government of the state that both of us reside in, in India. Will the marriage certificate from India suffice as proof of her dependent relationship with me? The list of suggested documents generated with the appointment confirmation does not mention any other documents but I want to be sure. Will the US Consulate in Canada accept a document from state authorities in India as valid proof, or do we need any additional information e.g., a notarized document or an affidavit? We have all the other supporting documents required for an H4 visa e.g. copy of the I797 approval notice, pay stubs, employment verification letter, proof of her legal status in Canada, etc. Any advice you can provide will be helpful. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
