Even though it sounds like oversight, it does not get resolved unless something radically new is adopted. The only way to resolve this from India Side (since we are talking about oversight of authors of Indian rules) is to allow dual PASSPORT. Otherwise, it has to be corrected from US side...

It is very much true that a lot of people are in this situation. a) Some of them are willing to get the US citizenship and are happy about it. b) Some of them fail to understand the complexity of this and assume that getting Indian citizenship is easy later. On the contrary, having made the...

ginnu, agron, Thanks for your replies. Yes, your replies are really helpful. From your replies, I can summerise, a) An application for extension of H4 also needs to be filed. b) Who applies (employer or applicant) differs from case to case. So, I will talk to my employer and find what...

Did you find an answer? Did you find an answer for this question? _OR_ found any alternative? Please share it here, if you have any update on this.
