Hi,
I got my H1B approval sometime back. I have been in the US for 4 years on a H4 visa and I just got sponsored by an employer and received my I-797. I am a first time applicant.
The document checklist on a lot of websites suggest that I need Paystubs. But I do not have any paystubs or W2 since it is the first time I am applying for a H1B visa and I have not been working till date.
I am currently in India because of a personal emergency. And while I am here I want to get my H1B stamping done. Could you tell me what are the documents I would need for a successful H1B stamping at Chennai?
Currently, I have the I-797A with I-94 and the I-797C. I also have my degree certificates and my previous last work experience (India) letter. I also have my husband's passport copies and H1B I-797 and his work experience certificates.
What else would I need? Could someone please guide me. The Paystubs and W2 has got me really confused.
To add to my misery, I-797A reads "The above petition and change of status has been approved"
I am currently in India for a personal emergency...there is also this line which says "a person granted a change of status who leaves the US must normally obtain a visa in the new classification before returning."
Now, the question is because my H4 is valid until JUly 2010, can I return to the US with my H4 visa and then get a stamping done in Mexico or Canada after a few months?
MY H1b is aproved from October 1, 2009 to September 2012.
THanks
Cheers
