H1 B Restamping

[mani_vinayaka]

Hello Friends,

I want a clarification for the below mentioned doubt.

i have my visa stamped with company ABC and H1-B(transfered) documents with company XYZ.
Now i am getting married. Is it required for me to get the visa stamp done by the new company XYZ in order to get the H4 visa stamp for my wife? or it is ok to apply the H$ Visa for my wife with the my old company ABC visa.

I have still one more valid year on the VISA Stamp.

Can any one please suggest me how to go further..?


Regards,
Sree

H1B restamping

Hi

You could refer to http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=204545

I was exactly in the same situation a few months back (though I was not getting married, I had to get my wife stamped for H4). I had contacted the lawyer at my new company and they suggested that she show the new H1 papers to the immigration officer so her I-94 has the latest date on it. However, as I was apprehesive about it, I asked her to show the previous company papers and she got it stamped based on my previous employer's H1B.

So, if you want your wife to get the latest date on her I-94, ask her to show the new documents.

Cheers,
