I am on H1 visa (working as consultant), wife on H4. Both of us are in US right now.
Son is four months old; he is currently in India as his visa application is under query
Haven’t reapplied as all the papers requested by consulate could not be gathered.
Currently changing my company, hence applied for the new H1 (premium processing); as soon as H1 is done, planning to apply for green card.
Issues:
1. Can I apply for green card for my son even if he is in India? As his visa is under query, will it not have implications on his green card processing? If yes, what kind issues could come up? Is it a good step to include his name for green card processing when his visa is under query?
2. In case we reapply for his visa with whatever papers available, and his visa gets rejected, will it be a problem during the green card processing? Can I apply for green card for my son who has his visa rejected?
3. If I cannot apply for green card for my son now and go ahead with our (wife and myself) green card processing, when can I get my son here – do we need to wait until we get his green card, how long will this take?
4. As my wife is currently on H4 and will be applying for Green Card as a dependent, can she go for a H1 visa? If we try for visa for my son as dependant of my wife, will the previous visa application (which was left as a query) pose any problems?
5. How safe/unsafe it is to leave my son’s visa under query – that is not reapplying with the papers requested by the consulate? Should we go ahead with reapplying with whatever papers available?
6. Can one (Indian) go to Canada for H1 visa stamping?
7. In case we apply for green card for all three of us – wife, son and myself, and if my son’s query issue comes up, will my son’s green card processing alone be cancelled or all three’s would be cancelled?
