Neha04 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hello, I have H4 visa till Nov 2014 and its going to get extended with my husbands H1B visa.We are planning to initiate for my H1B vis next March 2015.But my passport is above to expire in OCt 2015.And we are planning for trip to India in Feb 2015.So can I submit all the documents to my consultant first and after going to India the stamped new passport later.Or do I need to be present in USA in person while all the processing is done during month of April Thanks Link to comment
jairichi Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 No, there is no need for you to be here in US when H1B petition is being processed. To enter on H1B you will need H1B visa and I797. Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 You can get your passport renewed within 1 year of it's expiry. So get it done in Nov this year. Link to comment
omshiv Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 No issues. Just enjoy your trip. And its not called Consultant....its a Consulting company. Who paid H1 fees? Link to comment
Neha04 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks.I am sorry for the wrong word used.My husband would pay the fees. My consulting company said that I need my passport to be renewed and stamped before I file for H1B visa.So please help in this regard. Also can I get it renewed in Nov as my H4-visa extension would be in process during that time.So would my renewal of passport effect H4-visa extension. Thanks Link to comment
omshiv Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 My husband would pay the fees. There's a red flag right in there. Stay far away from such consulting companies who take money from their employees to pay H1 fees. Its ILLEGAL!!!! If found you'll be banned. Go through this forum to see what happened to others...also complain to the DOL/ICE that the employer is taking money from you. Link to comment
