Topic: H4 Application - how long for approval?
Posted by faisalsk70 (22) 29 Sep 2008
According to VSC the processing time for H4 is Oct 2007. Does someone knows if

1. Does it really takes that long for H4 approval?

2. Is premium processing an option available for H4?

3. Since my H1B is already approved - could her H4 be approved in lesser time frame?

these are all based on my experience.

not really, my wife took two weeks to get her visa. depends on the country you live & embassy.

2. Is premium processing an option available for H4? I dont think so!

3. Since my H1B is already approved - could her H4 be approved in lesser time frame? suppose to be.

hi faisalsk70,

got mine (h4 visa) in minutes (concurrent with my husband's h1 B stamping).

you should consult your HR on what to do next.
