My husband has already visitor visa ( B1/ B2). He wants to come on F2 ( Dependent) . Can try again for F2 with his status in B1. He has not entered the US yet. If embassy denies F2 what happens the visitor visa.Is it still valid?

What do you guys suggest in this thing.....

1. File Status change into F" after coming US in B1/b2

2. Apply in nepal for F2 and come US with F2

3.Apply in nepal for F2 ( fly on existing B1/B2 )if he could not get F2.

What is good idea? Any help will be appriciated.

Ramprasadji, it was really hilarious!Bimalaji , thank you  very much for suggestion.

I am here since 9 month in F1. and  he is studying in Australia and applied for F2 but got B1. Now he is going back to Nepal and coming to US. He is taking return ticket to Nepal instead of Australia. Does it matter?

While he applied in australia , He said that Australian company has offered a job for him.. do they have these records in Nepal also?

Hoine Australia ma pani Dhoti Consultancy che bhanya? .................

I think u already got the answers from other folks, so why u still so confused? B1/B2 che, chatta yaha aune ani then transfer his visa to F2. After that afu tanna padhne ani budha lai majja le kaam ma jotne... , aba he already have OZ experience, and if got good degree pheri chatta lagera co. samtera H1B garne, but no dhoti, hoine bhane lagaidinche topi........And u all set.

yeso gare kaso hola.....Don't worry abt the job confirmation.

Thanx Nissan 2006,

Ani yaha apply garera F2 Paune chance chaahi kattiko chha ta?

I mean probability...?

Applied for F2 visa but got B1......what the heck is that............never heard something like this. If he applied for F2 then it should be only for F2........and visa should be Y/N for F2 only.

Did you send I-20s for F2 visa?

Did you send letter from International Office for F2 visa?

Did you send Bank Balance Statement that you have enough money to support your hubby here?

Did you send Teaching/Reserach Assistant letter of your Department?

Yes I sent,

* I-20

* GA letter

*bank Balance

But he also atteched one letter which he is gonna join after his graduation in AUStralia.

And he truly applied for F2.

If I move to other state, can my child get admission in school?

because my school is in Minneapolis and I want to move to New york.I have to finish my thesis only whic I can do anywhere.

Copy and paste from Sajha about F2 and B1/B2

List of documents required for visa :

1.Current I-20 from your university for your spouse.

2.Letter from University that you are full time student and you have good grade and you are in

normal way for the graduation.

3.Transcript from university that shows all the course work your have done.

4.Bank balance about $7000-$8000 that shows you can support your spouse.

5.If you are working on CPT or TA or RA letter from your company or department showing your monthly income and if you filed the tax last year copy of it and also pay stub if you work on CPT.

6.Marriage certificate plus photo graph of your marriageDuring interview,

7.The most important thing; F1/F2 visa applicants may need to show ties to home country.

y parents are here in USA with multiple 5 year entry visa. They were granted 6 months stay at port of entry. They plan to stay here another 5 months and extension request has been filed to USCIS. If they are granted extension, and if they go back to Nepal within valid extended I-94 period, do they have to appear at US Embassy for an interview (even they have valid 5 year visa stamped on passport) when they plan to come again next time to US?? Some people told me that when they stay on extension, they need to go to US EMbassy for interview before they come to USA. Please share if any of you your known one has gone in such situation. I understand that if extension of visa is denied, then the time period beyond original I-94 date is considered as illegal stay. What you heard is wrong. this happened to one of my relatives too and they gave him 1 month time to return even if his 6 month stay visa had expired. If denied, USCIS will send you new I-94 with enough time frame for people to leave. Now a days, the processing time is very late. My parents extension Approval letter came after they left (left within 6 months of extra extention). Approval letter came after 8 months only. With their old expired I-94 they returned. But now they are here again. No illegal. because USCIS will have all in their system. The main thing you have to keep in mind is the extension period  i.e till what date you wrote on Extention form I-539 that your parents will stay here? It should not be more than 6 months from the previous visa expiry date (i.e if their visa is till October 30 2008, you can extend till April 30 2009) If they stay beyond that extended date of April 30 2009, waiting for approval, they will be illegal. The reason for this is if you get Approval letter even after 10 months, USCIS will send new I-94 with visa till April 30 2009 only. Because that is what you wrote on Extention form.  If you have written April 30 2009, the last day of your parents stay in USA, USCIS expects them to leave on or before that day. USCIS doesn't think that your parents are still waiting here for it.  Your parents have to return before this date even if the extention is pending. They can go back with old expired I-94. They will not be illegal. Most of the denied letter come before the extention date expires with some time frame to leave. USCIS does not make anyone illegal. Unless you yourself are ignorant to keep track of the dates.     If somebody has 5 year multiple visa, then they need not go to embassy everytime they return from USA. Only after expiration of 5 year visa if they want to come to USA again, they need to reapply for visa. Call USCIS customer service. They will answer it. There is another one office too which you all might don't know. It is called CUSTOM and BORDER PROTECTION OFFICE. USCIS and CBP are connected. If you want to know about your old I-94's you can call CBP. . The staff at Port of Entry who interview us all belong to this CBP. They also give lot of information mostly regarding I-94

After coming here in US, which is the good idea.... I mean try to change the visitor visa into F2 ( dependent) or F1.

your suggestion will be appriciated.
