Hello ,

I would be very thankful if someone could answer this question .

I am an Indian and I got married to a H1B visa holder of USA .I never travelled to US due to some differences and now I would like to get divorced from him .

What is the process so that I can cancel my H4 visa .


Please let me know .


Thanks in advance,
Punam.

Somehow I got this question from the Help Desk. That's unusual. In fact it never happened before. And peculiar, since I am not an immigration specialist.

Anyway, I imagine you can get the visa cancelled simply by making a request to BCIS. By why would you need to get it cancelled? Just don't use it.

Hi ,

Frankly speaking I do not want that visa to be existing in my passport .And for that do we have any way .If so kindly lemme know .

Thanks,
Punam.

Once you are legally divorced, your visa will be automatically terminated. No need to do anything...

Thank you ..

Though the visa gets terminated once I take divorce legally the stamping will be existing in my passport right ?

So I want that to be removed .Any option for this ?

Thanks ,

I know next to nothing about Indian law and therefor hesitate to even guess. But it's very unlikely that you would have to wait until it expired to renew it. Therefore I am guessing that there is some "window of opportunity" in which to renew before it expires. I have no idea what the size of that window might be.

I suggest that you inquire of the passport issuing agency. You might also ask what the procedure is if you were to "loose" the passport.
