An H-4 visa refusal under 221(g) has pushed an H-1B spouse into uncertainty. The issue arose after officials asked for an updated H-1B visa stamp, despite an approved I-797. This H-4 visa refusal now threatens plans and legal timelines.
H-4 Visa Refusal Triggered by Employer Change
The H-1B spouse recently changed employers in the US and holds a valid I-797 approval for the new role. However, the visa stamp still shows the previous employer. This mismatch led officers to place the H-4 application under 221(g) administrative processing.
H-1B Stamping Slots Create Scheduling Crisis
Under 221(g), you get six months to submit documents. But H-1B stamping slots in India are almost unavailable. Current availability points to May 2027, making travel risky. Experts warn that travelling now can leave you stranded without a visa slot.
Legal Risk Forces Difficult Choice
Immigration experts find this demand unusual, as an I-797 usually suffices for H-4 cases. The couple now faces a hard choice between waiting or travelling with uncertainty. Emergency appointments offer no assurance. Legal counsel is strongly advised before taking any step.
