The problem of inviting family members of international students to visit relatives.

F2 visas are issued to spouses of ordinary international students studying in the United States and unmarried children under 2 1 year old. Commonly known as Bandu visa. After entry, the validity period of this kind of visa in the United States is the same as that of the corresponding F 1 visa. The embassy is reviewing such visas, focusing on:

1) Husband and wife feelings.

Generally speaking, the separation time between husband and wife should not exceed one year, and it is best to visit relatives within one year after the spouse goes to the United States. A year later, a woman in Beijing went to visit her relatives. Visa officer asked: Why do you apply now? Because China people can endure the life of a cowherd and a weaver girl for a long time, Americans find it incredible. The best time to visit relatives is within three months to six months. Husband and wife should prepare letters and contact phone cards to show their emotional relationship.

2) Whether the corresponding F 1 holder has a scholarship.

If there is no scholarship, you should show proof of stable or sufficient financial resources. Neither F 1 nor F2 can work in the United States or off campus, and they must have a stable source of living and learning expenses. If you have a work card, you can also have proof of work income. Embassies generally check the bank deposits of F 1 holders very carefully.

3) Does the corresponding F 1 identity holder enter the United States with an F 1 visa?

F 1 visa includes F 1 identity, but F 1 identity does not include F 1 visa. Visa F 1 refers to the entry permit issued by the embassy, allowing the holder to rely on this visa, and the identity on the I94 card will be F 1 when crossing the border. Some people with B 1 or B2 visas have changed their status to F 1 through the US Immigration Service, but they have not been confirmed by the embassy. It is difficult to check out after returning home. The F2 visa application corresponding to this kind of F/KLOC-0 visa is also difficult.

What should I pay attention to in the interview of visiting relatives visa?

(1) Dress generously, don't be too formal, and look prim and square.

Visiting relatives instead of doing business or studying abroad, there is no need to wear a suit and tie. If it's for entertainment, you should dress more casually. If you are visiting a patient, you don't need to make up carefully. In short, dress according to purpose and status.

(2) explain the specific reasons for going to the United States.

Visa officers sometimes ask: What are you doing in America? About 80% people answered: who to visit most when visiting relatives. Some people don't understand: the visa officer knows to visit relatives after reading the application form. Why do you know perfectly well past ask?

In fact, there are different types of visiting relatives: different relatives have different purposes: for example, people whose main purpose is sightseeing, attending weddings, graduation ceremonies, visiting patients, getting together in the New Year and so on. So it is impossible for everyone to have the same reason. The visa officer mainly asks about your specific purpose. Therefore, when answering questions, you should be specific, fully justified and naturally credible.

For example, an applicant whose parents are sightseeing can say: We want to visit our daughter in America and see the scenery in America. We are rich now and want to travel.

Some people answer questions too simply. An old man, the visa officer asked her: How many years has your daughter been in America? A: Three years. Have you ever been back? No. The visa officer said: Then don't go, let your daughter come to see you. If you answer in the above way, the visa officer has nothing to say.

We should fully demonstrate our economic conditions. Try to pay for the visit yourself. Even if your relatives are billionaires, you can buy your own plane tickets, which shows that you can afford the expenses and have strong independence. There is no suspicion of relying on others, and there is no suspicion of relying on relatives to immigrate. Especially widowed elderly people, do not rely on any children, showing self-reliance.

Don't miss your loved ones too much except your spouse and minor children. An old man wanted to go to America to see his granddaughter and begged the visa officer: Let me see my granddaughter. I really miss her. Just take a look and I'll be back. The visa officer will never give her a visa. The more so, the greater the tendency to stay.
