Can my wife apply for an H-4 visa stamp in India while I am in the U.S.? Does it matter that my H1B extension was approved, but my H1B visa stamp has expired?

Answer

Yes, a dependent spouse may apply for an H-4 visa stamp while the principal spouse is in the U.S. This, of course, is assuming the principal spouse is in valid H1B status. There is no need for the principal spouse to have an unexpired H1B visa stamp. (23.May.2016)
