Job opportunities in India while staying in US under H4
I am currently having H4 visa (no EAD) in US. Being a clinical research professional, I contributed as a volunteer in Covid-19 vaccine trial in a hospital in US. The current situation has opened a new era of remote job opportunities in my field and as I have a vast experience, I want to explore if I can work with an Indian company (with no connections to US companies) remotely where I would be getting salary in Indian rupees. I also intend to pay taxes in India and show that as a foreign income here in US. Can I do that?

Working from the USA for a company in India
This is an uncertain policy problem. I have never seen this question "Whether I can work from the USA for a company in India" answered definitively anywhere. So, you are left to take a risk.

H4 EAD application while pursuing Masters
I have H1B visa and my PERM application process is underway. It looks like it will take at least a year for my I-140 application process to be complete. My wife is on H4 visa and is planning to pursue Masters in US on the H4 visa. During her Masters if my I-140 get approved, can we apply for H4 EAD while she is continuing her Masters. H4 EAD application seems to be taking 8 to 13 months, and we would like to apply for it as soon as possible.

Visa requirement for I-485
Hello,
I am currently on F1 OPT that expires Dec 31st 2021. I have applied for H4 COS in September. My husband (on H1B) has approved I140 and is going to file for the AOS I485 around February. My question is can we file for I485 with a pending H4 status or do I need to go to India and get H4 stamped. Thanks and appreciate in advance for your time.

H-4 Visa Stamping for Kid
Hi, Im trying to get visa stamping for my kid. The appointment is in Mumbai my wife has to travel from tamilnadu. Seeing the current Covid surge I want her to avoid traveling with new born if possible. My wife has her drop box appointment on Jan 18 in Delhi. She has sent the documents to one of my friend who will drop in the documents for her. For the appointment in Mumbai I want to know if she needs to go in directly to consulate or we can send the documents through a friend. If she needs to go directly does she need to take her original passport as well along with her or a xerox copy is fine since there is no guarantee that the passport will be received Feb 2 appointment.

My spouse and kids are going for drop box in Chennai. We have got appointment for my spouse along with the kids. We have added kids application to the primary applicant. Neither me nor my wife has valid visa but we have latest I797 approved. Is it something that children would get stamped only after my primary H4 applicant getting stamped? Or all will get stamped as children application is tagged to primary applicant.

H4-Minor Dropbox appointment
Hello,
these days I am hearing a lot from many groups that if you are into a situation below, then you will need to book separate drop-box appointment for H-1B minor. Can you please help me with validating on if this stands true? if so, I do not see any special instructions in US embassy's website. Please advise
My situations is as below
1. Primary spouse has got valid I797 and staying in USA along with dependent H4 spouse and H4 minor 2. Visa of all the 3 applicants had been expired in 2017. 3. Got drop-box appointment under the waiver program for all the 3 including H-1B and H4 Minor and H4 Spouse together at the same time and date 4. Planning to travel to India due to family situation and will need to wait for visa stamping 5. What we have been hearing is that in case if H1B or H4 dependent spouse, both holding expired visa, then it is necessary that one of them get stamped with a valid visa for the H4 minor to get stamped 6 Many people have faced this issue very recently and were required to schedule another drop box for H4 minor once they could hear H1B OR H4 dependent visa approval/stamping.

Visa stamping for minor
Hello Sir,
My name is Urvashi, I am on H4 visa. My husband has valid H1B. We scheduled Dropbox appointment for my daughter and I for April 2022. Today my agent (visa services) informed me about the criteria for minor which is stated as below:
Eligibility criteria for children under 14 years of age: I am applying before my 14th birthday.
Note: Children under 14 must submit photocopies of both parents' passports' biographic information and valid U.S. visa page.
My question is: 1 Is this criteria real? I mean we have never seen or heard of this before? ( both parents to valid visa)
2. Do I need to reschedule my daughter’s appointment after I receive approval.
Please suggest

I am a single mother of twins ( 12 years old boy and girl) working on H1 B since Oct 2020. My kids are in India. I came in 2017 on F1 visa ( stamped on my passport) and afterwards got H1B. I have I797, H1B is not stamped as I didn’t go to India because of pandemic. I want my kids to come and stay with me for the time I am on my H1B. Will they qualify for interview waiver or they have to appear for interview. As a single mother, will there be any problem bringing them here. I have divorce copy and custody documents from Indian court and on their passport and adhaar card (Indian ID Card), I am the single mother. Thanks in advance for your answer and advice
