sp1984 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hello everyone ! I am on H1B and will be getting married on April 13th, 2012 in India. I contacted an agent in India to work on (to be) wife's H4 visa and he gave some other procedures for applying for H4 which got me confused totally. Can someone please explain me the procedure for applying for H4 visa in detail ?? I mean where to begin with and if any documents/letters need to be sent to US Consulate before actual interview date ?? Please advise. Thank You in advance. Link to comment
rrr2008 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi sp1984, It is not necessary to contact any agent for H4 visa. See ************ for H4 documents for complete list of documents. There is lot of information in these forums too. Take HDFC receipt and fill the DS 160 form. Post any questions you have in this forum. Link to comment
karanmokati Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 You need to prove that you have a full time job (i.e., provide pay stubs, tax returns, letter from your employer stating that you are working for them, etc.,) and you are on H1B status (i.e., your H1 approval and I-94). In addition, you need to prove that you are legally married (i.e., marriage certificate, photographs, wedding card, etc.,). It is really simple to apply for H4 and honestly you don't need an "agent". I am not sure if you have to submit the documents before the interview. I think it depends on the consulate/embassy. Some require that you need to and some don't. Check their website and you will find those information. Link to comment
sp1984 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thank you rrr2008. I thought assigning an agent will ease things for me, however, it is not happening !! So, I think this H4 visa procedure is as per following:- (1) Fill DS-160 form. (2) Submit HDFC Visa fee. Get Fee Receipt with Barcode. (3) Take an interview date. (Carry all required documents, which you mentioned before in other topic) (4) Attend the interview. Can you please rectify me if I am wrong ?? Link to comment
rrr2008 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Everything is correct and if you are attending the interview in Hyderabad and Mumbai consulate, we have to submit the documets 4 and 3 days in advance of the visa interview., Link to comment
