Dear Anil,
My daughter’s Biometric and Consular appointment is scheduled during end of May 2022 and she’s has an expired H4 visa dependent on me. My wife’s H4 visa too is expired and both my wife an myself are working on H1-B and my daughter is on H4 under me.
We’re traveling to India for Visa stamping. My wife and myself are eligible for drop box but my daughter is not as both of us have expired visa.
Question: is it allowed to attend daughter’s Biometric and Consular interview with parents expired Visa (but with valid I797 of primary applicant) and later submit the H1-B documents for drop box. OR is it mandatory for one of the parent (or both) to have the valid visa stamped before going for a biometric/Consular interview for child?
Appreciate your response. Thank you.
