Washington, DC asked in Immigration Law for District of Columbia

Q: Applying for H4 visa after two B2 visa rejections. What is the chance of H4 visa rejection?

My spouse's B2 visa got rejected twice (in two different cities, Kolkata & Delhi, in India) while my H1B visa transfer petition was in process to start a new job. Now my H1B visa is approved and stamped, and my spouse will be applying for H4 on my H1B. What are the chances for rejection? Which city should we go for the interview, Kolkata or Delhi? Anything we should be aware of before the interview?

A: A B2 visa rejection would not normally affect the H4 eligibility, but it depends why the B2 was rejected. If you're concerned, I would recommend that your wife speak to an attorney in person before applying, just to make sure there aren't any issues that would prevent her from qualifying.
