HI, Assuming you are US citizen of Indian Origin, you may want to apply OCI /PIO card. Once you have the card, you should be okay (you might then have to apply for PAN card). This is just my opinion. you may want to check with a lawyer/CA in India. REgards, GCCovet

Hi, Just make sure you have "letter of acquisition" from company 'B'(merger docs will be fine as well). My close friend had a similar case and the letter lf acquisition did work.

Yes, certainly. You can take one appointment (in the appointment, mention you will have one dependent along with you for stamping). You will have to fill out seperate DS-156 forms for yourself and your wife though. -GCCovet

If you are Indian national, the 50$ fee is waived off. you have to only pay $100. If you are driving, you might have to pay $6 for I-94 (I read it somewhere on this forum)-- Not sure on this though. -GCCovet

Hi, I think they have stopped sending letters since 2006. You need to take printout from the website where you took your appointment. There is a button just next to all the forms that you have to fill out and print (DS-156 etc...). GCCovet

Hi, If you are flying, you have to surrender your I-94 at US airport before boarding airplane. If you are driving, make sure you surrender it at the border. A friend of mine who recently drove to canada for H1 interview and stamping, mentioned that, if you are driving, some officers at border...

Triple_Citizen Thank you for your prompt reply. The last answer, (For 'do you intend to study in the US?') my wife attends a Community college and not a regular university/school. That is, she is not on F1 (she is on H4). Do you still think I need to put 'YES' as an answer for her DS-156...
