Hello All,
I am on a H1 visa which is valid (stamped) till 31-MAY-06. I will be applying for visa extension sometime in JAN-06. I am getting married in MAR-06, my fiancee is in India.
Assuming I will get my new 797 visa extension approved in FEB-06, do I need to get my new extended visa stamped before my wife can apply for H4. I heard that there are some rules which state that the H1 visa should be valid for six more months before an H4 dependent visa can be applied for.
Can I get a new visa stamped even before earlier one has expired. In this case, I am thinking of going to Canada before going to India.
Would you pl comment on the best course of action for me. Do you see any issues with my situation. I really appreciate your response.
Thx.
