H4 & H1 stamping related issues:
The stamping on my H1B visa in passport is expired on 01 NOV 2001 ( > 1 year). The same is the status for my wife and son with H4 visa. Our visa is extended through the same 'A' company and we have all papers for H1B and H4 petition(I-797 & I-94). Now I changed my job through 'B' company and expecting the new H1B visa. I am here in USA and my wife is went to INDIA now and needs to do stamping for her & my son in passport before coming here.
This is my question:
1. To get my wife's H4 visa stamping in Passport in India, do I need to get stamped first?. If not, what are the documents to be produced in US consulate, INDIA for my dependant's stamping?.
2. Can I get stamped in INDIA when I go there in future?. And can you please tell me is there any time period before which I should get stamped with new H1B visa?
If you could help me with your suggestions/advice, mostly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
A. MANI
