Hi,
I am the primary ( H1) applicant and have my I-129 approved. I am going to the Visa Interview ( in India ) for the first time. I would also like to take my dependents for the Visa Stamping/Interview along with me. I was told by Stanley, the new consultants handling Visa operations, that there is a recent change in the process and now even dependents ( i.e H4 candidates ) should have an approved H4 petition before they appear for the interview. This is what they told me:
1. Each of the family members ( including primary applicant ) will fill separate DS-160.
2. The DS-160 confirmation numbers of the family members should be added by the primary applicant in his profile on http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in
3. A common fee receipt would be generated for the family and then I can make an appointment for the Interview.
I am very much confused as this seems to be a very recent development. Whereas, my employer in US is denying such a change and is very confident that nothing of that sort is introduced.
Can anyone help me?
1. Is an approved H4 petition also needed for the dependents who would be attending the Visa Interview along with the primary ( H1) applicant?
2. Do I fill seperate DS-160s for each of the family members?
