Hi all,
Thanks for the forum. This is regarding an H4 visa. I was wondering if the regulations at the mumbai counsulate are as stringent as chennai? This is my case:
* Getting married by hindu tradition on dec 14th.
* Howver will have a civil court marriage on the 8th.
* Get marriage certificate immediately and apply for spouces name endorsement on 9th.
* When i get married on 14th, i will have the wedding pics on 15th .
* I will apply for H4 visa on 16th. I will show my wedding date as 8th dec and present the case as if the wedding on 8th was a hindu traditional wedding and that the snaps have been taken on the 8th.

I am doing this assuming:
*Endorsement , though not a requirement, MUST be done in a practical case.
* A full blown wedding album is required.

I have an absoulutely spotless H1 case. Any opiniions and comments?

Best regards and thanks in advance.
 
You need just a sample of the album, if they ask.

You can also provide the pics of your civil ceremony (what the heck, throw couple of garlands around).

Thanks,

A' couple ' of phots are OK in Mumbai counsulate? I 'hear' they require entire albums?
Also, is it fine if i dont get names endorsed on the passports?
Any experinces to share?
 
Endorsing spouse names always helps !

Check the with the consulate you are going to . They might need it for a first time H4

My spouse went with a album of abt. 25 pics. I think 10-12 should suffice. But if you have the pics, no harm in carrying more.

When I asked VFS, they gave me paper saying that endrosing spouse's name is 'recommended' not reqd.

Thanks,
