H4 Visa Part 2- Documents Interview My Experience

[@ragusugar5478]

Hello, How to change ds160 after submitting it. I don't see any option for that

[@goglobalbypragnya]

Hi Go to ceac.state.gov/genniv/ Fill in location and captcha code Then choose RETRIEVE APPLICATION Use you DS160 application ID to log in again. The fields will be auto filled still then check if anything is missing. Make the necessary changes. SUBMIT again. Use the new confirmation page for interview.

Can H1-B and H4 visa interview be scheduled together so that both H1-B and H4 can travel together?

[@goglobalbypragnya]

Yes of course! In fact it becomes easier for h4 when they attend interview with H1B. Keep in mind separate ds 160 is required for both. Add the h4 as a dependent while booking interview and attend together on 1 date.

Hello ma'am! Currently my husband is in US. He is staying there from last April, 2022. On this 14th March I'm having my H4 interview in Delhi US Embassy. But seeing your video today I'm worrying about a doubt that my husband doesn't have i 94, rather he is having i-129. Are these two documents same? Or i 94 is mandatory? Can you please clear this doubt?

Hey! I 94 is a document generated when a person enters US (at the port of entry). Your husband for sure has this as it’s impossible to not have i94. Ask him to download it. It’s available on www.cbp.gov/I94

Hi I had my H1B dropbox renewal on Feb 1st and Feb 11th - admin processing and hoping it will change to issued on Feb 14th. I dont think we ll have my passport at hand by Feb 15th. My wife's H4 consulate appointment is on Feb 15th and i don't think we might have a copy of H1b visa stamped page at the time of interview. Is that a required document? If the application says - "Visa issued", is that fine enough to attend the H4 visa interview (given they will the H1b applicants approval status on file already). Should she carry a pic of the CGI portal saying - "Visa issued"? What are the chances of 221G for her?

[@goglobalbypragnya]

She needs to carry your approved i797. That will work. She doesn't need your passport. If asked she can say that it's still with consulate. Cgi status will not be required. Just have a copy of your i797. All the best!
