hello
I came to US for a research project on J1 VISA in Sept. 2002. My 8 year-old son and husband were denied J2 VISA at that time. We have applied 2 more times since then and have beed denied on all occasions based on "intending immigration". My research is ongoing and my VISA status changed recently from J1 to H1-B. Ihave H1-B approval till Aug, 2006 but the J1 VISA stamp on my passport expired on July 31, 2004. I want to carry on with my research project uninterrupted for a couple of years but do not wish to be separated from my son and husband. They have applied for H4 VISA and will go for the interview at the Mumbai Consulate on Sept.3, 2004. We hope that they are not denied VISA this time and we can reunite soon. Is there anything in particular that we should keep in mind to avoid denial this time? Does anyone have experience for H4 VISA stamping at the Mumbai Cosulate?
Look forward for your response.
Thanks
