India travel - stamping problem

[geteas80]

Hi,

I have the following doubts in travelling to india deom US ,

Pl, let me know, is it ok for any H4 holders to travel under the following Circumstances & is it ok for any H4 holders to get stamping under the following conditions

1. Stamping for H1 is expired on Dec 2004 & hence the stamping for H4 is also expired on Dec 2004

2. In US, Visa is extended till Dec 2006

3. Since Green card is under processing, now H1b visa is extended for 1 yr till Dec 2007.

4. Is it possible, for H4 holders to travel & to get stamping in india alone with all the travel documents & extension documents or H4 holders must be accompained by H1b holder during India - Chennai Stamping at USConsulate.

5. Green card is under processing & we got I140 Cleared & I485 waiting for PD to become current- yet to be applied.

As long as you have a valid H1 visa paers, you should not have any problems with the stamping for either H1 or H4. Green card process is nothing to do with your H1 stamping. H1 is a dual intent visa and it is fine for you to show the intent to be an immigrant by applying green card.
