L2 holder going for stamping alone while L1 holder is in USA

[siju]

Hi All,
I am currently in USA and applied for L1 B visa extension and waiting for approval. Once I get the approval for both me and L2 spouse, she wants to go to India and stay 2 months and come back.

1. I know that she has to get the stamping done from US consulate in India before she comes back, Can she do it alone? Or is it mandatory that I (L1 holder) should be accompanying her along with my stamping?
2. Our baby (US citizen) is 5 moth?s old and due to this will she get any exceptions for not to appear personally in the US consulate in India?

Please point me to the right thread/post if this quetion is a duplicate.

Thanks in advance for all your valuable answers.

Yes, she need to get stamping done before flying back to USA.
Yes, she can go alone for her L2 - as long as she carries all documents - your approved petition, payslips etc.

On the other note, she is eligible for drop-box if she had L2 earlier & just renewing it - which seems to be the case with you.

2. Our baby (US citizen) is 5 moth?s old and due to this will she get any exceptions for not to appear personally in the US consulate in India?

No - no exception for having an citizen child.
