My wife got her H4 visa stamped in India and arriving in US soon. She is coming to US for the first time. Besides her passport with H4 visa, what other documents she needs to carry ?. Does she need to carry my passport copy or my 797 copy etc...?

Guys, please advise.
 
She has to carry a copy of your 797 and few pay stubs. It is always better to have a copy of your passport and also your employment verification letter.

On H4 she doesn't needs any other document but it is good for her to carry what vortex has suggested and along with all those ask her to carry a copy of marriage certificate.

I concur. It's always better to carry at least the following:
o Employment letter (with reference to the spouse addressed to consulate)
o Copy of 797

And more better :
o Pay stubs
o copy of petetion
o Marr. cert. (if spouse name not endoresed in PP, then must)
 
Thanks for your inputs guys. I would ask her to carry all those documents.

But it does sound "overkilling" to me because she submitted all those documents when she went to H4 stamping at the Chennai consulate. Why do they want to check them again ?.

If anyone has been in my situation, please post your experience.

Thank you.
