Visa stamping in India with F-1 status approved by USCIS

[vishwa_84]

Hi,

 

My wife entered US on a H4 visa. I applied for her status change to F-1. We got the status change approved and she is currently on F-1 status.  We are planning to travel to India early next year for a private occasion. I know that she needs to get her F-1 visa stamped if she wants to enter US. I have some questions w.r.t to her visa stamping.

 

* Since her F-1 status is approved is she on the safer side for visa stamping or the risk doesn't change?

 

* Also please note that I have my  I-140 approved in the permanent residency process. I still haven't added her as a dependent in this process. Does this change her risks any further? 

 

* Also if her F-1 visa gets rejected, will her current H4 visa also get cancelled? 

 

Thanks

What risk are you referring to? I dont see any risk in her getting F1 stamped on her passport. Your I-140 would not affect her approval chances.

 

Go ahead without fear. Good luck.

My case is similar to the above Vishwa_84 and i am travelling this December. My questions are:

 

# 1. Do i need to show financial documents which equals the money for my whole course? I am only left with one more semester and i have already paid 80% of my course fee. So, while going for the interview do they expect me to show the full amount or the amount that is left?

 

# 2. How much time does it take to get the stamping done and receive my passport. I am going for a short 2 weeks trip.

 

Please help!!
