20 19 visa application guide for parents of American students.

Many American students need their parents' company to adapt to studying abroad because they are young or studying abroad for the first time. In the United States, parents can accompany them, so how should I apply for a visa? Ok, I'll introduce some skills to you.

Introduction to accompanying reading

International students who wish to study in the United States can apply for a student visa (visa F 1), and spouses and children of married international students can apply for a partner visa (visa F2).

The application procedure for accompanying reading in the United States is relatively simple. In principle, you only need one condition to apply for an accompanying visa in the United States, that is, your spouse is a full-time student or visiting scholar in the United States. You don't need to take any English proficiency or professional exams yourself. As long as your spouse can prove that he or she is legally studying in the United States, you can apply for a visa to accompany you.

F2 visa introduction

F2 visa does not require any English proficiency test or professional test, but American law stipulates that F2 visa cannot legally work or study in the United States. 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. Among all non-immigrant visa applications, F2 has the highest pass rate. American culture attaches great importance to the reunion of husband and wife, and the original intention of applying for an accompanying visa is not to pursue further studies or start a business, so it is relatively easy to apply for immigration.

Application conditions of accompanying students

Like other kinds of American visas, you need to prove that you have enough funds to pay for your stay in the United States, but this is basically not a problem for accompanying visa applicants. As the name implies, the purpose of accompanying visa is not to study abroad, so there is no need to prove that you can pay high tuition and fees. As for the living expenses, according to the experience of international students in the United States, if there is a full scholarship, the average student's monthly income is enough to cover the living expenses of himself and his spouse. Because spouses don't need to buy a car, rent a house, buy full health insurance, etc. Just 200 yuan a month is enough.

Adjoint time adjustment

The United States has clear and detailed regulations on the time that various types of visa holders can stay in the United States after entering the United States. When entering an American airport, immigration officials will write down the specific time when the visa holder must leave the country on the I-94 (Entry/Exit Card). The accompanying visa will not have a specific departure date. As long as your spouse is still studying in the United States, you can legally stay in the United States without making any legal documents or paying any fees to the authorities.

Parents accompany them to deal with B 1 and B2.

But parents are not allowed to apply for an F2 visa if their children go to the United States to study. If parents also want to accompany their students to the United States, they can apply for business visas and tourist visas of B 1 and B2.
