Hi,
I have done H1B stamping with employer 'abc' on Sep-2012 along with that my wife and son also got their H4 stamping.
On June 2013 I have traveled to United stated alone .
On Jan 2014 i have switched to another employer 'def' and they did my I-797 (Current) but they didn't do I-797 extension for my Wife and Son since they were not in United States at that time.
On March 2014 I brought my Wife and son to US since the Visa stamped with previous employer didn't expired we didn't got for stamping that time and our I-94 also shows the Current I-797 expiration date.
We are planning for trip to India in Feb 2016 and we have to go for Visa stamping this time.
My current I-797 is valid till Dec 2016.
can I use the my I-797 for my wife and kid since they dont have one for themselves?
Is it mandatory that H4 visa applicant should have their own I-797(In my case since they where not in US while had my extension)?
Do i have to ask my employer to explicitly do i-797 for my dependents Now?
Am concern whether will it have some implication in our VISA stamping.
Thank you.
