F-2 Family Members of F-1

The spouse and minor children accompanying an F-1 student are eligible for admission in F-2 status if the student is admitted in F-1 status. The spouse and minor children following-to-join an F-1 student are eligible for admission to the United States in F-2 status if they are able to demonstrate that the F-1 student has been admitted and is, or will be within 30 days, enrolled in a full course of study, or engaged in approved practical training following completion of studies.

An F-2 Visa is issued to a spouse and children of F1 visa holders who wish to visit or accompany the F1 visa holder to the United States and an F2 visa holder may not accept any employment ( unless work visa is obtained) although an F2 visa holder may engage in full or part time study.

Visa processing can be difficult and confusing. If you would like the assistance of an experienced immigration lawyer, please contact us or call our office at 1-415-601-0210 to schedule a consultation today.
