Hi sri sri,
Any dependant of a H1B is, by law, allowed to join his/her spouse in the US. Therefore your right to join your husband on a H4 cannot be questioned. Your previous rejections might have a bearing on the present time. But each case is viewed on its own merits. It is entirely in your and your husbands hands to ensure complete documentation and complete preparation before the interview. As far as your intention to go to Canada for stamping is concerned, it may prove harmful to u in the long run. In case u decide to visit India at a later date, you will have to go for your stamping in India then to return to the USA at which point of time you will be grilled. There might also be a high chance of rejection then. So think before you act!

hi srisri,
Firstly, when your husband goes for his stamping in Canada, it might prove harmful to you when you go to Chennai for stamping. The Visa officer is bound to ask you why your husband didn't come to India for stamping, and you will be left without a convincing answer. Besides, the chances of rejection of his stamping in Canada cannot also be overlooked. But in case your husband and u go for the same visa interview at Chennai, the chances of getting the visa is much higher. Your husband will be able to tackle questions regarding his employment/employer more efficiently than u can all by yourself.
Also H1b Visa is a kind of visa for which you don't have to prove to the Consulate that u are not a potential immigrant. If you are well prepared, u can tackle this also with ease.

Thanks veena

Hi Veena,

Thanks for your reply.It is very very helpful.I really cannot say how i feel when i happened to read some sincere advice.The problem is he coudln't get any leave from his job ,he is working for a consultant.You should be knowing that it is a trend rather the only way to get a job in USA now.So this is the problem.He was a student there and he has been studying from 2001 in USA,he did his MBA and now from this jan his OPt started and he is in the job from MARCH.Do you think he'll have a problem in clearing the H1b in chennai?

Thanks and Regards,

Srisri.

Hi,
Your husband getting his H1b stamping in Chennai would entirely depend on documentation and efficiently facing the interview.
All the best.
