Schengen visa for Indian in the USA

8/31/2016 4:15:45 AM

The Schengen visa itself is not directly dependant on your status in the United States. They want to see two things:

  1. To apply in the US, you must be legally residing in the US. It shouldn’t be a problem if your immigration status changes between the application and the trip, as long as you can show that the change is already approved.

  2. You need to show ties to your place of residence to support your assertion that you plan to leave the Schengen area. Again, it shouldn’t matter that your immigration status is changing. In fact it might even help since it shows your commitment to remaining in the US. The most important thing here is to have a consistent, coherent story.

Your application should therefore include all of your immigration-related documents, pertaining both to the student visa and the H-1B status. The student status is relevant because it justifies your applying in the US; the H-1B status is relevant because it will be your status at the time of the trip.
