Can my wife apply H4 visa by my I-797 without a H1B visa stamp?

[Xiangyu5]

I currently do not have a H1B visa stamp in my passport because I changed status from F1 to H1B here in the US after graduation. Now my wife is applying for a H4 visa from my home country. Can the consulate issue her a H4 visa only with my current valid 1-797 approval notice without H1B visa stamp? Thanks very much

---------------yes they can, they may ask your W-2 or recent pay stubs, copy of marriage certificate,Copy of your all the passport pages, your H1 approval notice ,your employer letter that you are working with them on h1 status. They can ask for Complete attorney certified copy of your H1petition that was filed by US employer(it may be with employer/ lawyer who filed H1 )

Thanks very much

check the required document for H4 visa stamp from the site of US consulate where she is going to apply for H4 visa.

Hi,
My fiance is converting his Student Visa to H1B by June. Our wedding is in December... How do I go about the whole procedure of getting an H4 Visa?
Also I wish to enroll for my masters by Fall 2010. Can I do a regular MS program with H4? Or do I need an F1.
Thanks
