"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The processing times for US Dependent Visa are variable depending on individual circumstances. This Visa depends on H-1B.

In this scenario, it may take around 1 month to 2.5 months."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How can I get a Dependent Visa for the USA from India?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The H-4 Visa in the US also is also known as Dependent Visa. The procedure for applying for this Visa is similar to any other type of H Visa. To apply for the US Dependent Visa you will have to:
Fill the digital Form DS -160
Pay the fees for H-4 Visa
Schedule the appointment for the Visa interview
Submit all the documents required for the Visa
Attend the interview
Obtain the H-4 Visa
Your application and interview will decide whether you will be offered the Visa or not. The status of your application can be checked on the US Embassy website where you have applied. This is by entering the number of your application.
You will be notified by the Embassy once it processes your H-4 Visa application. You will have to go for the procedures for Visa stamping if you have been approved the Visa. This will be the last step to be completed prior to booking your trip to the US."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can I extend my US dependent visa?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The type of permission, validity, and duration of the sponsor’s visa all influence the probability of an extension. You may be able to renew the US permission if the sponsor has an extension or a long-term permit. You must apply to the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) before your existing visa expires in order to do so. The success of your application, however, will be determined by a number of variables, including your intent, immigration status, and so on. You’ll also need to submit all of the documentation you supplied for the original visa."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How long can I stay after my dependent visa expires",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "You can no longer stay in the country when your dependent permit has expired. Before the expiration date, you must depart the country. Staying in the nation after the allotted period has expired is considered an offence, and you may be deported. If you stay in the country for an extended amount of time after the permissible period has expired, you may be barred from applying for a visa again. You may, however, remain in the country if you have requested for a visa renewal."
}
},{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Should I apply for the dependent visa along with the application for the primary visa",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No, applying for the dependent permit at the same time as the primary visa holder is not required. You can apply for it individually at a later point in time. However, submitting them all at once will expedite the process. Also, keep in mind that, even if you apply separately, the validity and length of your stay will be determined by the principal visa category."
