Hi and Thank you in advance. I have a few questions, but answer to any particular question will be of immense help. I am also new to this forum so please bear with me if ask one or two FAQs.

I work on a H1-B Visa and want to bring my husband over here on a H4 visa. He would fall under the Delhi consular district and I fall under the Chennai consular district. Would there be a problem if I applied for an appointment at Delhi being the principal Visa holder?

My H1-B approval notice was stamped at the Chennai consulate when I went to India last year. After my return to the US, my company filed an amended petition for me since I had to move to another state to work on another project. I now have an approval notice from the INS from the amended petition. Do I need to the 1-94 stamped again when I go to India for my marriage this time?

Our long-term plan is for my husband to do a PhD here. I have heard that once on a H4, chances of getting a F1 is minimal since it conveys a strong intent to settle down in the US. Also, can F1 Visa be obtained here or does one have to go to India for that?

I have some questions regarding filling out the TTSVisas.com appointment page. Please help ASAP. Thanks.

You are renewing or replacing a visa of the same category provided the previous visa has not been expired for more than twelve months (i.e.,365 days).
-- I have an amended H1B approval notice with a new 1-94 (not a case of H1B renewal or extension) that I need to get stamped in India along with my husband’s H4. Should I answer yes or no to this question?

How long does it take for the Consulate to issue back all the documents once the appt. is done and stamping confirmed.

Thanks again.
