H1 and H4 together

[kanikaUS]

Hi All,

I have a question for my very dear friends. My two friends are in a relationship and planning to get married soon in India. Right now, girl is in USA on H1 visa and working as a full time employee. Boy is in London and working on work visa in London. Boy applied for F1 (student visa for USA) twice and visa was rejected both the times. Now they both are planning to go to india and get married so that the boy can come to USA on H4 visa. They both will take the date together for the same date and same window before marriage but will get married and take the visa interview in india together. Girl's H1 stamping and Boy's H4 visa. They know the process to take visa interview date for the group interview. My questions are :-

1. What questions will be asked as Boy's visa was rejected twice because of financial issues. Interviewer wasn't sure if he will be able to pay the fees for the course. But i believe now financial issues shouldn't be a problem since now he wants to go as a dependent.

2. Can Boy tell during the interview that he plans to study there even after going on H4 visa??

We have all the required documents. Please tell me what can be the questions so that my friends can prepare for the interview. They are away from each other since last 3 years. Hope this time luck will favor them.. Please help if anybody went for H1 and H4 together and share your experiences.


Thanks a ton in advance !!

A 214b immigrant intent denial (that is the most common cause of F1 denial, even if questions asked relate to finances) will not affect H4 application. It must however be mentioned in the DS160.

2. Can Boy tell during the interview that he plans to study there even after going on H4 visa??

He can, but that is not necessary as primary purpose of H4 is to accompany the spouse.

We have all the required documents. Please tell me what can be the questions so that my friends can prepare for the interview. They are away from each other since last 3 years. Hope this time luck will favor them.. Please help if anybody went for H1 and H4 together and share your experiences.
