Phusre, Can you also elaborate what documents you submitted to the embassy? Also, do you have stamping already on your h1b or not? Peace Sirus

My wife also get 221g last year 2011. no additional docs were asked. They verified from US( I think from USCIS) about my H1 status. It will take some time. My wife gets H4 visa in 2 months. it is just matter of time.so just wait and watch.

I have my h1b stamped and I am planning to get married. But my soon to be wife got rejected twice for student visa in us. Will she have any problem while stamping for h4 visa ?? How long does it normally take to get visa ? I am planning to get married n bring her with me within 3 weeks.

 Karmayogi, Do I need to followup with them or I need to do any other things? SIRUS, My H1b is not stamped. I submiteed following documents: 1)I797, LCA, I129. 2) Bank Statements. 3) Employment letters.  4) Marriage Pictures and Marriage Certificate.

Recenty, my wife got H4 visa stamped. Her F1 was rejected twice when she was single. It is one of the easiest visa. Never heard any rejection. Good Luck Guys and girls.

These are the list of doc my wife put in her file: 1. Letter from me (I wrote a letter to US embassy stating that she is my wife and please issue H4 visa for her ) 2. Employment verification letter from company (I asked my company to verify my employment  and asked to mention my wife name in there and I can support her living here in US) 3. I 797 - both pages (copy) 4. Document package from the Lawyer (this inlude LCA / I129, whatever it has) 5. Marriage Certificate (govt) 6. Wedding Invitation cards - Both sides if you have any 7. Pay-stubs - couple of recent one 8. Bank Balance and transaction (This is just supporting doc. I had 13K) 9. copy of my Passport Pages (pages which have information about me and my visa) 10 ID cards copy (license / company id card ) **I also asked my wife to put her diploma and couple of certificates she achieved 11.

shresthap · Sep 27, 2012 8:44 AM

Thanks Damauali guy, U da Man :)..

@bijayadh, All the curious you have is for your H1 stamping. As long as you have H1 approval and you can prove that you are legally marriage, she will get the visa. Make sure you prepare your wife for the interview with all the information about you like where do you work, your cleint/employer, what is your job, where did you graduate from/major...eveything. Since you are consultant, if you can, ask them to make one letter with your employment verification. Good Luck
