what are the minimum documents required to apply for H4 visa.  Murthy forum mentions too many documents which i think are not required.  could anyone who recently applied for H4 share what documents are must.   I am thinking of using the following:   1. few wedding pictures 2. certificate of relationship between the applicant and the H1 B holder ( wife and husband) 3. copy of passport and visa of H 1B holder 4. copy of H1B approval notice ( I 797 C) 5. few pay stubs 6.  original job offer letter and letter mentioning the H1B holder is still continuing in the company 7. W2 forms and tax documents. Now, my questions are, do i need to show bank balance?  do i need to send original I 797 A?  please note that I have send original I797 C.  how about I 129 notice?  please provide some input.  Thanks.

Mandatory documents Passport One photograph Original DS-156, nonimmigrant visa application form. Original DS-157, supplemental nonimmigrant visa application form. Visa Fees Application fee and service charge to be paid in advance at participating HDFC bank before taking an appointment. Visa fee receipt issued by HDFC bank with two bar code stickers to be carried to the consulate at the time of interview. Interview appointment letter. Sample Copy of Notice of Action (Form I-797). Supporting documents Photocopies of the first page, address page and last page of your current passport. The original Notice of Action Form I-797 of the Principal Applicant. Form I-129 of the Principal Applicant, and letter from employer that describes the relationship with the Principal Applicant and the purpose of travel. Original marriage certificate for spouse along with entire wedding photo album. Make sure that the groom and the bride are easily identified in the photographs. It is important to have the specific photographs showing important parts of the marriage ceremony. e.g., for Hindu marriage, putting sindoor in bride's "maang", putting "mangalsutra" around bride's neck, rounds around the fire etc. Wedding invitation card. All 36 pages of the principal applicant's passport (if not applying with principal applicant). If a copy of the passport is submitted, it should be a GOOD copy and the photo must be clearly identifiable. Copy of the principal applicant's work experience letters.
