chances of getting H4 Visa
Hi There!
I had been to USA on B1 Visa (Business) for 3 month in Aug. 2000.
While in USA I transferred my B1 Visa to F1, and continued with
Masters. Unfortunately when I came to India in holidays of May 2002
(after 11th Sept.) and went to US consulate for F1 Visa stamping, they
rejected it, saying that they did not like me changing my intensions
after going to USA on business visa. I tried to convince them thrice
(2 interview + 1 by mail application) but didn't work.
Presently I am working as a S/W professional in India. I am planning
to marry a H1 holder person as decided before. But now on this
background I would like to first find out the risk involved in
applying and getting H4 Visa. As per my understanding getting H4 is
not hard. But, if there are chances that my H4 will be rejected
(thought my spouse holding valid H1B), I may not choose to marry an H1
holder and get involved in legal matters again.
Please let me know any information anyone might have about this since
it will going to be an important decision for me as far as my personal
life as well as my career is considered.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Ms. Bhise.

Re: chances of getting H4 Visa
Swati,
I sympathize for your failure to get back the F1 visa that you lost once you
went back to your home country. But your other concern is totally bizarre
and laughable. What do you mean by saying that if you get H4 easily, you'll
marry the H1B holder otherwise you will marry someone in India to avoid
legal trouble.
It seems that for you marrying a person who's working in the United States
is just a way to get to the US and nothing else!! You seem to not understand
and have the feelings and emotions involved when one gets married to
someone.
Asking these kind of foolish questions is disgrace for Indians. This might
be a matter of embarrassment for people from India who are living in the US.
And those who actually have feeling for their life partners/would be life
partners may also suffer due to this selfish attitude of yours towards a
pious relationship as marriage.
Please don't ask such questions!

H-4 is considerably easier to get than an F-1 because you are allowed to
have immigration intent. The only concern might be the suspicion that the
marriage might not be real.

Re: chances of getting H4 Visa
Mr. Schumaker:
Thank you for ur unwanted advice. As u have posted on google group I
am not asking u any more Qn.. Since I know that u will give all
suggestions except the query actually asked...!!
As u might have understood, the rejection of my F1 was quite
unexpected... & the marriage with an H1 holder was decided before
these happenings... Now after these legal problems I do NOT want be a
reason to disturb anyone's future & career... & that's why taking
precautions...
The image of an Indian is in the mind of an individual... & it
reflects in his thinking & conclusions he can draw using that & such
advices....
by the way.. I would like to know the details of this patriotic Indian
"schumaker".. who thinks he has taken patent of "Image of an Indian"..
& who is actually the first person to disturb it..!!
