Hello! For previous US Travel, do we only include travel dates into US by air (that is mentioned in I-94) or all travel by sea/drive as well (which is mentioned in travel history). Thanks!
Hello Somesh, Thank you for sharing the information. Quick question regarding Q: Have you ever been refused a US Visa or been refused admission.... . My spouse entered in US on B2 visa, I applied for cos to F2 in mean time my H1B was approved so applied for COS to H4.Both the COS application were under review after 11 month, her cos F2 was denied but COS H4 was approved and issued the approval notice i797. Do we have to say YES for this question? This is at 12:02 minute. Thanks Q2: In whole video I observed that, no where it was needed to mention the receipt number of H4 approval notice. Did I miss something or my understanding is correct? At minute 9.18 PRINCIAPL APPLICATION INFORMATION we mention ONLY H1 receipt number.
Hi Nitesh - as per you mentioned both F2 and H4 processed at a time that’s why they denied F2 as H4 already approved - So I would say you can mention as no if mentioned as yes also no worries then you have explain the case. In most of the cases people will keep as no to avoid questions in the interview. How ever it’s not refused or revoked so you should be good.
1.Say m applying H4 from india and m working here ,then i must fill iam working right? 2.What to answer if the VO asks ,you are working here ,then you can apply for H1B,why H4? If ok then too how will you manage being away from habitual routine of working in the US? Plz suggest
Hi Somesh Ji, Do need to fill separate DS160 forms for my Wife, Daughter 3 years old, and son 1 year old? Or we can add in the Spouse DS160 in column travel information?
What all the original documents need to carry for the visa interview for H4, if we filled education details , should we carry the originals for the interview or just the photocopies are ok
Thank you somesh . I have a question..Hi . I am filling ds 160 for my wife ( h4) . What should I mention in "Primary occupation " homemaker or her professional details ? . She is working in india right now . And we have to give aadhar number in national identification section right?
Hi Somesh. Thanks for explaining in detail about filling H4 application . It was really helpful. Can you please help me understand "Previous U.S. travel information" page . Q: Are you applying the same type of visa? My wife she came on F2 dependent to USA. Please advise if I need to select option No ?
Hi Nasar thank you so much - if yes it was same like previous class then you should delete yes but in your wife case she came in F2 and H4 right so you keep as NO
Hello, we are greatful for this video. Excellent Job!!! Question - 1. My H1b got picked and now my employer filed my petition with premium processing. I would like to call my wife and she is in Nepal. To apply for my wife's H4 visa, does my employer need to file for her too or we could just do it followig your video? 2. Can I apply her H4 soon as I get my approved I-797, before my Visa stamp which is on OCT 2022? Thanks. in advance.
Hi Rohit thank you so much. 1- No need of your employer filing H4 visa to her ! Employer has to do that process when she in USA - as currently she in home country she can go to stamping with your approved H1B copy. 2. Recommended her to go for H4 stamping in October as your H1B will be valid from October.
Hi somesh, Thank You for this detailed video , I have a question - My husband’s h1b was approved recently and we are planning to go to US at the same time .. Do we need to fill forms for each one of us or will there be any option while filling the application for primary applicant?
Thanks Sajana - Yes you have fill forms for each but while scheduling the appointment primary applicate can add you in his application and you guys can for the interview together.
awsome video, One quick question, I am an L2 beneficiary and filing visa DS 160, as i would be travelling with my spouse (L1A) and Kid (L2) what would be answer for question "Are any other person travelling with you?" As I am travelling with my spouse and kid, should the answer be "Yes" and mention there names. (please note that my Spouse (L1A) has already given this option selected as "YES"
Hi Ritesh - Thankyou As you already selected as “Yes” what’s the next question? If you traveling with Spouse and kids then give as “Yes” it might ask for details and give it. Let me know if any other questions.
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 Hi...My case is similar to the above. I am L2 beneficiary and would be travelling with my spouse (L1A) and kids (L2). What should I and my kids give for US Point of Contact information? My Spouse has given his organizational contact.
Hi Somesh, Thanks for the detailed explanation. Since i have applied for H4 extension, my spouse also has a I797. Are we going to use the receipt number which is on her I797 anywhere in the stamping process or DS160 or just mine(primary applicant)? Thanks!
Hi Shravz - Thankyou - You will be giving primary applicate receipt number details only - although you get H4 approved you can go for stamping with primary applicate’s H1B approved copy. And one check my whole you will come to know if I missed anything here in the chat.
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 well, does it still work even if the h4 applicant has approved h4 ead? won't it be cancelled if the h4 applicant comes back to the US on primary applicant's h1b, instead of using their own approved h4?
@@americalohyderabadi Hi , Just giving the info about the H4 only - but in your cases if the person applied both H4 and H4EAD then it’s recommended to wait until the H4 is approved.
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 thank you for the reply . Both H4 and h4 EAD are approved . Planning to go to india in august . Is there any danger for H4 EAD if attend the visa based on principle applicants I-797?
Hi Somesh, Thanks for the wonderful information which is useful for many. I had filled my DS160 (H1B) and opted for creating family application as we are planning to travel at same time. So while filling H4 DS 160, 1. should I mention the same org address as the location of stay even for 4th be dependants. 2. Can I opt for "Self" against who is paying for the travel
Is the address of the party paying for your trip the same as your Home or Mailing Address? you said yes. my question is the party (husband US addresss) but wife address is different right?
Also in intended date of arrival. If i am unsure of when I will be travelling, what are the tentitive dates that I should mention? Like if I have put a tentitive date of 30th may but in future my travel plans are not made by 30th may then what are the consequences?
Hi Neha I'm also in same boat. I'm assuming you are in usa and not sure when to go for stamping so To answer your question " Do not submit the DS-160 while in USA. You can provide any random stuff now and complete your DS-160. Update all these details when you reach to India. You can update these all details before going to interview. Thank you Somesh for this informative video. I do have some questions but I've not completed the DS-160 yet so I'll ask them all together.
Hi Somesh, Thank you for your detailed explanation 1. Recently my H1b got approved and yet travel to USA. 2. In my DS-160 i had not filled my wife and kid details as they are not accompanying with me. 3. Now i want to apply dependant visa for my wife and kid. I have a query here what information i should fill in US contact person as i'm still in india and dont have us contact number. Could you please let me know what should i do
Yes, i'm visiting for the first time. Wife and kid are not accompanying with me and they will be coming later. is it okay to keep employer contact information and relationship as employer
Hi Somesh, thank for information, what if, if h4 depended on visa not confirmable in english, is there any facility of translator? of my souse will explain question and I will give answer it will fine
Hi Vaishali thanks - so if you both going at a time for the visa interview then their won’t be much questions to you only basic question they will ask - if your going alone then you can select your one language - but when you with spouse if you don’t understand he should be able to guide you.
Having a question on present work/education/training information ds 160 for H4 17-year-old Kid, 12th grade studying in the USA since from 2nd-grade onwards? Do I need to select "NOT EMPLOYED" or need to select "STUDENT" and specify US school information in that? Thanks

@@someshvlogsinusa5656 I'm already in the US but need to travel back to India to meet my parents. This is why I need to do a visa stamping on my passport. I already have a h4 visa. I have a ssn too which I will write in the given section. The help section next to national identification number says "issued by your government". Doesn't this mean aadhar card number? (issued by Indian government)
In my case H1B primary applicant has already stamped visa. I need to get my h4 stamped. I have filled dS 160. Using cgi federal i was trying to fill nd then do the payment but then it said as per my husband's details that, the profile has already been there. Now, we r confused how primary applicant can add me to his cgi federal and do the payment?
Hello Somesh, thanks for the helpful video with detailed instructions. However, i have a quick question regarding Q: Have you ever been refused a US Visa or been refused admission.... So my wife her F2 dependent visa got refused for the first time when she applied and she got the visa on the second time. Do we have to say YES for this question? This is at 12:02 minute. Thanks
Hi Joshi - nope you don’t have to say YES because your wife’s visa is not refused. She didn’t get the visa in the interview and she got it in second attempt. So that won’t come under refuse.
Hi Somesh - At 9.57 minute. does depend (h4) applicant need to mark YES, I am the primary application my spouse will be travel back with me (so in this case, will I be the that other person?). we currently reside in states.
Hi Nitesh are you both going for stamping at a time? If yes then you mark it as yes . If you already have visa ans now only if H4 is going for stamping you can mark it as No - how ever if yes also that shouldn’t be a problem it will ask for the details that’s all. To avoid that you can mark is as No.
hi somesh thank you so much for information video. i am a dependent holder i am applying for visa to myself and my spouse is in usa. so in your video in 10:16 in the previous us travel information page why did you mention primary application details why you did not mention dependent details i am very confused. so do i need to enter yes or no for that question? because it was asking for previous travel information for the dependent applicant. can you please tell me what to fill and in 9:47 who is paying for your trip can we fill as self or should i give my spouse details? can you please reply to me
Hi Ramya - Thank you Yes you have give primary application details as your spouse because your for dependent H4 Visa that’s related to H1B(Primary Applicant) and person pay for the trip will be Spouse don’t keep self.
Hi Somesh, Now after my h1 extension I am planning to go for h1 drop box stamping. I have a question, @11:30 sec there is question about previous visa. I am confused what to write bcoz. My initial stamped visa on the passport is f1 but later I got change of status to h1 3 years ago,so is my previous visa f1 or h1?
Hi Somesh - at 16.28 minute. Q:Do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents in the US. I am currently on h1b, my spouse is currently with me in US her status (cos to h4 from b2). Do I need to mark yes or no. Because while stamping we both will be in India and stamp together. (I have no relatives in US). Same question for h4 application
Hi brother, Its a very useful video i ever seen bcz from 1week i have been problem. How will apply for H4 visa?? Dear bro i have two questions to u kindly inform me. 1.my husband staying usa atlanta almost 2.5 year.but i am staying in Bangladesh.he got H1b visa 3months ago.I have a baby now my question me and baby both D 160 form fill up will separately or mingle? 2.how long time will need for interview after submitting D160 information??
Hi Somesh Thank you for this video. Its cleares lot of doubts. But having only one question.Is it necessary to apply H4 visa along with my H1B Visa. I am going for first time and i have doubt on this. Somebody saying if we go seperatley need to pay only for VISA is 6000 dollars. Is it correct...?
Hi, I had a question, if someone is on h4 and started studying online in the u.s then for visa renewal stamping, what should be filled in primary occupation and work education? Student, homemaker, or unemployed. Also what to fill about education and training? Can one fill the current undergoing education which is to be completed in future in college attended, and mention the completion date as the present date?
Hi Somesh, My friend applied for h1 transfer and he got the i797 receipt notice tfrom uscis that they received the packet, Can he fill the H1 DS 160 with the receipt number on the i797 receipt that he got with 1 week of sending the packet or Does he have to wait for the i 797 approval to fill the DS 160? Does the receipt number change from the receipt notice to approval notice? It seems that the appointments are difficult to get so he is trying to find if he can use the receipt number and fill the DS 160 and book the appointment in advance with the hope that he can get the approval in 1 or 2 months. Kindly let me know your feedback on the above questions
Hi Indus - I get your point but with our approval you can start DS 160 form by using that DS 160 number you can create login details for scheduling appointment but how it’s possible for your schedule appointment because it’s needed start and end dates which you will get after the approval only.
@@industv1221 For Booking the slot you need it for sure. For DS 160 you can give tentative dates and later you can edit it but you shouldn’t submit the application once you submit you cannot edit DS-160
Hi Chaitanya - it’s not mandatory to change unless you want to change it - For apply H4 depending supporting like marriage certificate marriage photos and marriage invitation card should be good.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have an h1 Dropbox appointment on Oct 2022 and planning to get married in Oct. My fiancée is based out of India. After marriage, we are planning to come together to the US. Can we start filling out DS 160 for my fiancée so that we can start booking an h4 visa appointment now for an appointment date after our marriage? Considering the uncertainty on getting the appointment dates, we were thinking to start filling the ds160 now itself for H4 visa. Highly appreciate your advice on this.
Hi Lakshya thanks Yes you can start filing and you can schedule then appointment too but appointment should be your marriage date with marriage certificate and marriage photos
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 thanks for your prompt response. At the time of the dropbox interview, my marital status would be single. However, my fiancée’s Will now be filling out her marital status as Married and will provide my name as principal applicant and my petition number. Would this cause a concern to my Dropbox interview considering I have marked my marital status as single? She will go for her h4 interview after we get married.
And if you still ha the doubt you can fill out the DS 160 and don’t submit with that application number schedule the appointment after 1 or so you can submit it ! Still it same as per me you can mentioned is as married
Hi Somesh, if after filling out the DS 160 for H4 dependents, the passport is renewed, do we have an option of updating the passport number if the visa appointment has already been take. I plan to apply for visa appointment now, but my H4 dependent's renewed passport is likely to come after a month. Thanks
Hi Prakash - If your already submitted DS-160 then you can’t update or edit it - the best way when they go to stamping they need to carry both of them and inform to the office that passport is renewed after DS-160 submission - question my come back you have the answer ready as you didn’t get slot earliest.

Hello Somesh,
Thank you for sharing the information. Quick question regarding Q: Have you ever been refused a US Visa or been refused admission.... . My spouse entered in US on B2 visa, I applied for cos to F2 in mean time my H1B was approved so applied for COS to H4.Both the COS application were under review after 11 month, her cos F2 was denied but COS H4 was approved and issued the approval notice i797. Do we have to say YES for this question? This is at 12:02 minute. Thanks
Q2: In whole video I observed that, no where it was needed to mention the receipt number of H4 approval notice. Did I miss something or my understanding is correct? At minute 9.18 PRINCIAPL APPLICATION INFORMATION we mention ONLY H1 receipt number.
Hi Nitesh - as per you mentioned both F2 and H4 processed at a time that’s why they denied F2 as H4 already approved - So I would say you can mention as no if mentioned as yes also no worries then you have explain the case.
In most of the cases people will keep as no to avoid questions in the interview. How ever it’s not refused or revoked so you should be good.
Q2 Answer - Yes should give primary applicant H1B Receipt Number.
Where do we upload the picture in DS160
Hi Somesh, can you do a video for the first time h4 visa
Hi Abhinash - You H4 interview scheduling Process?

Hi - Child of an H (H4) 4.44 second in the video let me know if you have any other question.
Hello, we are greatful for this video. Excellent Job!!! Question - 1. My H1b got picked and now my employer filed my petition with premium processing. I would like to call my wife and she is in Nepal. To apply for my wife's H4 visa, does my employer need to file for her too or we could just do it followig your video?
2. Can I apply her H4 soon as I get my approved I-797, before my Visa stamp which is on OCT 2022? Thanks. in advance.
Hi Rohit thank you so much.
1- No need of your employer filing H4 visa to her ! Employer has to do that process when she in USA - as currently she in home country she can go to stamping with your approved H1B copy.
2. Recommended her to go for H4 stamping in October as your H1B will be valid from October.
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 Awesome!! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
Hi somesh, Thank You for this detailed video , I have a question - My husband’s h1b was approved recently and we are planning to go to US at the same time .. Do we need to fill forms for each one of us or will there be any option while filling the application for primary applicant?
Thanks Sajana - Yes you have fill forms for each but while scheduling the appointment primary applicate can add you in his application and you guys can for the interview together.
awsome video, One quick question, I am an L2 beneficiary and filing visa DS 160, as i would be travelling with my spouse (L1A) and Kid (L2) what would be answer for question "Are any other person travelling with you?" As I am travelling with my spouse and kid, should the answer be "Yes" and mention there names. (please note that my Spouse (L1A) has already given this option selected as "YES"

As you already selected as “Yes” what’s the next question?
If you traveling with Spouse and kids then give as “Yes” it might ask for details and give it.
Let me know if any other questions.
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 Hi...My case is similar to the above. I am L2 beneficiary and would be travelling with my spouse (L1A) and kids (L2). What should I and my kids give for US Point of Contact information? My Spouse has given his organizational contact.

Hi Somesh, Thanks for the wonderful information which is useful for many. I had filled my DS160 (H1B) and opted for creating family application as we are planning to travel at same time. So while filling H4 DS 160,
1. should I mention the same org address as the location of stay even for 4th be dependants.
2. Can I opt for "Self" against who is paying for the travel
Hi A T Thank you so much - As your talking about depends so you opt as self
Is the address of the party paying for your trip the same as your Home or Mailing Address? you said yes. my question is the party (husband US addresss) but wife address is different right?
Also in intended date of arrival. If i am unsure of when I will be travelling, what are the tentitive dates that I should mention? Like if I have put a tentitive date of 30th may but in future my travel plans are not made by 30th may then what are the consequences?
It should be a problem - but always make sure intended date should not be before your visa appointment date.

Hello Somesh, thanks for the helpful video with detailed instructions. However, i have a quick question regarding Q: Have you ever been refused a US Visa or been refused admission.... So my wife her F2 dependent visa got refused for the first time when she applied and she got the visa on the second time. Do we have to say YES for this question? This is at 12:02 minute. Thanks
Hi Joshi - nope you don’t have to say YES because your wife’s visa is not refused. She didn’t get the visa in the interview and she got it in second attempt. So that won’t come under refuse.

Hi Nitesh are you both going for stamping at a time? If yes then you mark it as yes . If you already have visa ans now only if H4 is going for stamping you can mark it as No - how ever if yes also that shouldn’t be a problem it will ask for the details that’s all.

Hi Ankit - you have fill DS-160 application for each and every one applicate including kid - While booking visa appointment you have to add the applicants to the slots and whole family can go at a time in single slot
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 I will have two ds-160 application ids, one for each. I have to book appointment based on ds-160 Id only. So you saying, I can book just one appointment and both can attend the interview ?
@@ankitdhasmana7908 That’s correct - you will need to give two ds 160 applications ID’s and schedule one appointment ( you will see option to add applicants )
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 Thanks a lot Somesh. That clarified my doubts. God bless you. 🙏🙌
@@ankitdhasmana7908 You’re Welcome Ankit.
Hi Somesh ,
Nice information , thanks for sharing.
my H1B Visa stamping completed. At time of H1B Visa interview have not planned for my family H4, still I have not travelled to US due to some commitments in my current job , now I want to apply for my family H4 and want to travel together.
I have a query, what should I give start date and end date , any tentative start date will be fine or start date should be my H1B Visa stamping date.
Also will be travelling together " any body traveling with you option as yes and mention my details in my family DS 160 forms.
Thanks
Hi Azher Thank-You - Firstly you would have gone for the interview together as you didn’t do that I would recommend for your dependents not to go for stamping unless you land in USA
@@someshvlogsinusa5656 Somesh , thanks for suggestion. Any reason why you are telling to do it after I land in US.
Currently I'm not in india , I'm in gulf and planning to take the appoitment here for my family.
@@AzherMohd-kx8rk You’re in Gulf but not in USA - When your dependents go for stamping officer will ask where is your husband working and if your not USA of course next question comes he did stamping and he didn’t go till date why? To avoid these kind of these I recommend you should stamping along with dependents if not then once you land here - How still you can try out chance are Der for the approval too it’s all depends on how they are answering.
