Can your spouse get H4 soon after marriage at consulate?

[Sun07]

Guys!

I have a question. One of cousin is getting married to a guy on H1B here. He is of the opinion that he can get married to her in India and then take her to US Consulate in Delhi, show them the marriage certificate and get her H4 stamp.

I never heard anything like that before. Is it doable?

Thanks for your help!

Use Dropbox

For Delhi now all visas need a DropBox which takes 3-4 days to come back after stamping. But be aware, some first time applicants including H4 visa applicants are called for a breif interview. But the process is straightforward.

For first time applicants, can you even use dropbox?

Please read the instructions and eligibility for drop box @ New Delhi:

So as I thought, You cannot use drop box for 1st time H-4 applicant.
