How to apply for H4 for spouse if not added on original application

[drMBA]

I'm currently on F1.I am starting employment with a company in October 2009 who have filed the H1B for me. Since I had previously used up my OPT before my current Masters, I need to go through Consular processing if it is approved.

I didn't request for H4 for my husband at the time of the application (just listed on the application as my spouse) because of other plans we had.

We have now decided to go to the embassy together for the H1 +H4 in October.
What should I do to get in a H4 application for my husband?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

-----------------He can apply H4 visa stamp with you from US consulate. he should fill his DS forms and pay the fees.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks ginnu.
Do I need to update any information with the lawyer handling the immigration in the US before the interview? Or get any forms from the lawyer?

------------------you should. You are starting employment with a company in October 2009. you will need H1 approval notice, certified LCA from Lawyer and certified copy of the Petition (I-129) from lawyer, employer job offer letter.Your H1 is not approved at this time and start date may be October 2009 and I dont know what is your present status in US. for more info talk to your company lawyer who filed your H1. I dont post for F1.
Or get any forms from the lawyer?

You are going for H1 and H4 visa stamping from US consulate. visit the US consulate website and note what forms to fill and how to pay the Fees.one can doenload forms from US consulate site or from DOS site(US consulates and embassy are under DOS).
