What about my wife's accompanying visa?

You can apply for a spouse visa when studying abroad, but the policies of spouse visa in different countries are different. This paper sorts out the spouse visa policies of several common countries studying abroad.

First, the United States-spouses can accompany them but are not allowed to find a job.

The visa applied by international students studying in the United States is called F 1 visa, and their spouses apply for F2 visa. Among all non-immigrant visa applications, F2 has the highest pass rate, because American culture attaches great importance to the reunion of husband and wife.

In principle, only one condition is required to apply for an accompanying visa in the United States, that is, the spouse is a full-time American student or visiting scholar. The applicant doesn't need to take any English proficiency test or professional test. As long as his/her spouse can prove that he/she is legally studying in the United States, he/she can apply for an accompanying visa. However, it should be noted that American law stipulates that F2 visa cannot legally work or study in the United States. Therefore, if the applicant wants to pursue further studies or develop his career, he can also apply for a school or find a job after arriving in the United States, and convert the F2 visa into a student visa, a work visa or an immigrant visa.
