Queries for H4 DS160

[Prashant.Setia]

Hello All,

I have few queries regarding filling DS160 form for H4 dependent:

1. Is it required to show work experience as my wife's employer doesn't issues any exp letter or NOC as they thinks their employee will leave them . So what can i show.
Will latest salary slip would work or appointment letter.

2. Also will they ever ask for work experience of H4 dependents. Per my understanding they only ask questions how H4 applicant is related to H1 primary applicant .

3. If we show housewife for H4 applicant in housewife, will that work.

Please reply.

1. You can show work experience, you should not lie on the DS-160. As for NOC, it generally is required only for Govt Body employees..
2. They do ask sometimes.
3. As I said, do not lie on a DS-160, it can come to haunt you later on.

I dont see any reason why you should hide the fact that your spouse is working.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Hi,

thanks for your advice.

I'm worried only because my wife's employer do not issues any experience letter or NOC as they thinks their employee will leave them. So if in any case visa officer demands for these such as experience letter, then what would we show.

so that's why I asked , Can we show latest salary slip OR appointment letter.?

Otherwise I would have never wanted to hide any details.

Also if they ask are you working somewhere, so should we tell them yes working.

So wouldn't it make any impact on visa approval. Or simultaneously we can tell them we'll resign after visa gets approved.
