Drop box with H1b applicant - drop box submission + is H4 I-797 doc required ?

[Jeet Jain]

We lost H4 I797 approval notice last year October for my spouse (though we have receipt notice, even though still USCIS case status shows pending, but I confirmed by raising few queries online). And thought that its not required very much, and H1b (primary applicant) approved I797 will suffice for stamping .

But now I am going through the documents required for submitting for drop box submission (as I am about to leave in next 7 days from US), I am not able to get clarity if my (H1b primary applicant) I797 approval notice will suffice as we dont have H4 I-797 approval notice with us ?

No their H4 I797 is not required.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
