    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    Hi, I was very much in similar situation as you. Even though your wife is not supporting financially, you should list her as co-sponsor. There is no harm in listing her as co-sponsor. I did the same thing. If she is not listed as co-sponsor, you will have to submit additional forms and also...

    Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR) to enter USA

    I will recommend checking out with CBP (1877 227-5511 ) to be on the safer side. If upon entry into US after new I-797 is issued, the I-94 # (also referred as emission number by CBP) may change requiring you to step out of US and re-enter with new I-94. You can also use AVR as long as your old...

    Experience : I-94 update for H1B (Amendment + Extension ) with Daily commute on AVR

    My I-94 number did not change. I believe your employer submitted an Amendment application with USCIS. If validity period and I-94 number are same, there is no need to ask CBP to update anything. In my case my new I-94 had new validity, hence I went for secondary inspection and got my I-94 updated.
