H4 clarification required

[dearandy]

Hi,

I am faced with the below situation and would highly appreciate your help in clarifying my queries.

My wife's employer has applied to H1B visa for her and she has applied for H4 dependent VISA for me thru her employer. The petitions have passed thru and we have scheduled an interview with the chennai consulate.

As I am working and have applied for H4, my wife's employer has requested a relieving letter or a leave letter for a minimum duration of atleast 3 months starting before the VISA interview date.

I checked on the consulate website for any such documents to be produced and do not find any information on that. Can anyone throw some light in this pls?
Pls share your experience on getting H4 for working dependent.

Thanks & Regards,
Anand

There is no such requirement for H4 visa. In INDIA, US counsel look at you, house husband position, which you are going to take up as soon as you reach US. I know a case, wife got H1, husband and 4 daughters applied H4 in US consulate chennai in 1997, entire H visa stamping rejected, that is the first time H1 got rejected without a solid reason with my knowledge.
