HEY GUYS,
I NEED A SERIOUS ADVICE,
I AM THINKING OF CHANGIN MY F1 STATUS TO F2 SINCE I RECENTLY FOT MARRIED.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
HAS ANYONE IN SAJHA DONE IT BEFORE? R THERE ANY COMPLICATIONS?
PLEASE SHARE UR EXPEREINCE GUYS!!!!

talk to the advisor of your wife tell her that you just got married and want to change the status to F1. YOu will get it.

*F2. not F1 typo

LGAL COMPLICATIONS?

why would u wanna change your status. it far more flexible to be in F1 than in F2. think bout it.

IT IS ALWAYS ETTER TO BE IN F1 , BUT IT WOULD COST LOTS OF MONEY IF WE BOTH GO TO COLLEGES.SO WE R THINKIN ATLEAST IF ONE CAN BE F2 IT WOULD SAVE SOMETHING.....

sacrificing education .....well..... in that case there should not be much complications but ur spouse needs to prove that s/he has enough of fund to support his/her education as well as you. good luck.

what abt b1b2 to f2?
kehi idea?

changing from F-1 to F-2 is not a big problem. Your spouse needs to apply for a dependent I-20 to the international office. All you need is to show them that your spouse is in good status and you have enough financial source to live in this country during your spouse's study period. Once you have your dependent I-20 apply for the change of status. We will have your status changed with in 2-3 months.

Good-luck

RHC, did you change your status to INS officer now?

By the way, did you recieve your OPT card?

MT- I wish I did., any way, you know what I meant to say ,right? (OLD BRAIN, BIDESHI BHASHA- thats how it is) I received my OPT/EAD card exactly within the time frame that you have mentioned. Thanks for sending the card on time!!!! . Now I will be moving to the southeast.

RHC,
Good to know that. Congratulation and good luck.
