Hi all -
My wife who entered US on an F-2 dependent visa in 2013 (after we got married; and I was then on F-1) is going to get H-4 stamping for the first time in Mumbai in a few weeks. I have since not traveled back to India and have has a change of status from F-1 to H-1B. I hold approved I-797A with renewed I-94s for both my wife and myself. My last paper visa also issued in India was for F-1 and has now expired. I do not currently hold a valid paper visa for H-1B and have never held a paper visa for H-1B.
Is it a cause for concern that my wife is getting her H-4 stamped in Mumbai before I have had a chance to travel back and get the consular visa stamp for H-1B? If you have any additional tips or helpful comments, feel free to reply. Thanks!
