Successful H4 to H1 Stamping At Bahamas

Visa interview appointment was through scratch card process.

My case is H4 to H1B. Paid $131 fee, they asked for usual set of documents - Passport, I-797, recent paystubs(had recent three pay stubs), Copy of LCA. They also asked about University in India from where I got my MCA degree. Then came the difficult part - PIMS verification. They told me it takes 48 to 72 hrs to get a confirmation from their internal process and gave me back all the documents. This happened on Monday, on Wednesday morning got a call from Embassy stating confirmation from PIMS is through, went back to Embassy submitted the fee receipt and passport. By 9.30am got passport with visa stamped(our flight leaves by 2pm so they made this arrangement, normally the passports are available to collect between 1 and 2.30pm only).

Bahamas is a great place to stay, we really enjoyed our stay.
 
Can you please elaborate ?

Hi Friend

We are going to Bahamas in January 2009. While I am on H1B right now, my wife is on H1B, entered US on H4 and working from 2 years on H1B

Recently I heard rumours that H4 or F1 visa holders are not eligible to go to overseas embassies for visa stamping.

Can you please let me know if this is the case also can you please let me know if you need to take the bank statements? If so for how many months ?

Also any specific questions they asked you in embassy there

Your response is appreciated
