Can American visiting scholars send their relatives abroad?

It takes several years for American public schools to study together, which is extremely unstable for families. In fact, there are such examples not only in the United States, but also in other countries. My husband studies abroad and my wife goes with him. It is certainly possible to study in the United States. Let's get to know the situation together.

Can visiting scholars sent abroad by the United States bring their families?

Reply: You can bring your family! Visiting scholars sent abroad should apply for a visiting scholar visa in the United States, that is, J- 1 visa. If they bring their families, their families should apply for a J-2 visa.

According to the information released by the State Council, the spouse of the main applicant for J- 1 visa or unmarried children under 2 1 should apply for a J-2 visa if they need to accompany or reunite in the United States. If the spouse or children do not plan to live and live in the United States with the visa applicant, but only want to travel during the holidays, they can also apply for a tourist (B-2) visa.

To apply for a visa with family members (J-2 visa), the following materials shall be submitted on the basis of J- 1 visa materials:

(1) Proof of the relationship between the applicant and his spouse and/or children (such as marriage certificate and birth certificate)

(2) Spouse and each child must submit DS-20 19 respectively. This form is used to apply for a visa to the United States for your spouse/children, whether it is to accompany an exchange visiting scholar to apply for a visa to the United States or to apply for a reunion visa to the United States separately later.

J- 1 For visa materials, please refer to the website of visa materials for American visiting scholars.

Under normal circumstances, the state allows visiting scholars to take their spouses abroad, but in view of some phenomena, some areas will force visiting scholars not to bring their families. How should this requirement be solved?

First, visiting scholars can invite their families again after going abroad. For example, your husband can invite your wife and children after going abroad, and there is no time limit for invitations after going abroad. There is no requirement that you must come out for more than six months, as some websites say, and neither does the Canadian Embassy. You can rest assured. Invitations are relatively easy after going abroad, and visas can be obtained in one day (take Beijing as an example here).

Second, the required materials are prepared according to the requirements of the embassy. You can also provide some auxiliary materials, which is helpful for the smooth visa. The specific materials have been introduced in detail in the second half of the article, so please pay attention.

Third, on the issue of funds. The invitation time in everyone's invitation letter is generally 1-3 months, so the funds should be prepared as much as possible, and the bank's running bills and tax bills should be provided as much as possible.

Fourth, we must do a good job in the domestic binding force of the invited people to prevent the tendency of immigration. Because most people are state-owned and still have advantages, they can provide their own leave certificates and their own fixed assets such as real estate and cars.

5. Notarization of the relationship between husband and wife, notarization of the only child of the invitee, notarization of no crime, and notarization of academic qualifications. If you're here for a job.

6. The information of the inviter includes: invitation letter (the invitation letter requires that you visit the embassy website, which must meet the requirements and be written in accordance with the regulations), qualification certificate of the National Overseas Fund Committee, proof of funding, proof of studying in domestic and foreign institutions, registration information, student ID card and foreign bank deposit information.
