What documents are required to apply for the F2 Visa?
You’ll need your F1 Visa holder’s I-20 Form and the DS-160 Form to apply for the F2 Visa.
The I-20 Form is signed by the university where the F1 Visa holder will or is currently enrolled, and the DS-160 Form is your online visa application where you must submit your information and photo.
Then you must print everything and bring it with you to the US embassy/consulate interview.
Is it possible to work in the United States on a F2 Visa?
Unfortunately, because the F2 Visa is not a work permit, you are not permitted to work in the United States.
If you want to find work and stay in the United States, you can do so by changing your Visa status.
The following are three things that every international student should be aware of before the interview!
To begin, double-check that you have all of the necessary documents for the interview (the most important one being the study permit from the university you applied to).
Second, most embassies or consulates ask the same questions, so prepare ahead of time by practicing what you want to say.
Third, don’t forget to mention that you want to return to your home country after graduation, and keep your response short but clear!
For a Student Visa (F1/F2), what does the embassy require?
Your passport (both original and photocopied), a photo of yourself, the online visa application confirmation (DS-160), the visa fee payment receipt, an I-20 Form, and proof of financial stability are the general requirements.
F2 Visa applicants require two additional documents in addition to the general requirements:
a birth or marriage certificate,
depending on whether they are the child or spouse of an F1 Visa holder,
and a copy of the F1 Visa holder’s I-20 Form.
What is the F2 Visa and who is eligible to apply for it?
A family member who is an F1 Visa applicant or holder is required to apply for the F2 Visa.
Only a few people in your relative’s circle are eligible to apply even if they have an F1 Visa.
You can apply for the non-immigrant dependent Visa if you are their spouse or a minor child under the age of 21 who is not married.
As an F1/F2 visa holder, do you require health insurance?
The short answer is yes! Despite the fact that F1 and F2 Visa holders have access to medical facilities, the cost of healthcare in America would be difficult to afford without a health insurance plan.
Even if you are only going to be in the United States for a short time, we recommend that you purchase health insurance ahead of time.
The United States is known around the world for being a great place for students, which is why they issue around 300,000 visas each year. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Mexico, and Germany are among the top ten countries that have issued the most visas.
Why is the number of international students in the United States increasing?
The United States has long provided fantastic opportunities for hardworking students, so it’s no surprise that the number of international students continues to rise.
Aside from its excellent and expanding curriculum, many students from around the world are drawn to the university by the numerous employment possibilities, internships, and specialized services it provides.
