How to accompany older international students

At present, many young and middle-aged white-collar workers (over 25 years old) plan to go abroad for further study in consideration of the need of promotion in the workplace. But the thought of being separated from your partner and children always makes them hesitate again and again. In fact, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Britain and other countries have provided spouse visas and family visas for international students to help them solve their worries. Let's have a look. The accompanying visa should be prepared in advance. It is understood that to apply for an accompanying visa, the applicant has two basic conditions: first, a legal marriage; First, in addition to adequate economic security, materials need to be carefully prepared. If there is a lack of materials or the materials are not fully prepared, or the explanation is unclear, the visa officer will still act according to the regulations and refuse the visa. Once a visa is refused, it is very difficult to counterclaim successfully, so don't take this visa lightly. Different countries have different regulations on accompanying students, the guarantee for family visas, and activities suitable for people, spouses and children. For example, a spouse with an American F-2 family visa can't get a degree through full-time or part-time study, can't take part in paid work, but can take part in voluntary work. Spouses with accompanying visas in Australia can legally work in Australia for no more than 40 hours every two weeks or attend short-term courses for no more than three months. If you want to take a long-term degree course, you need your spouse to apply and convert it into a student visa. Experts who study abroad suggest that older white-collar students and their spouses should learn about the regulations of different countries more than one year in advance when planning to study abroad and accompany them, and make a good choice of study majors, schools, countries and families. Case 1 Miss Wen, the newly married husband went to a new full-time job to share the cost of studying abroad, and suffered a low career development. He planned to improve his competitiveness in the workplace by studying abroad. But considering that she just married her husband, she is in a dilemma: if they study together, it will undoubtedly bring a huge burden to the family economy, and if they live apart for a long time, the marriage relationship may be affected. After consultation, Miss Wen learned that if she is applying for postgraduate courses in New Zealand or there is a long-term shortage of professional undergraduate courses in New Zealand, her spouse can apply for an accompanying visa to work full-time in New Zealand. In this way, they can not only avoid the pain of lovesickness, but also share the cost of studying abroad through their husbands' full-time work income. In the end, Miss Wen successfully applied for the Master of Tourism Management course at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, and her spouse also applied for a New Zealand spouse work visa. After graduating from a master's degree, Miss Wen found a job in a travel company in New Zealand. Miss Wen and her spouse have successfully applied for a two-year residence visa in New Zealand, intending to become permanent residents of New Zealand and enjoy generous welfare benefits in New Zealand. Comments: According to experts studying abroad, the main advantage of the New Zealand spouse work visa is that if the student visa holder can prove a stable relationship with his spouse, his spouse can get a full-time work visa issued by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau without financial guarantee. Spouses can take up any job in New Zealand while accompanying students and share the tuition and living expenses of international students in New Zealand. Children under the age of 0/8 of student visa holders/KLOC-can also receive free compulsory education in New Zealand through accompanying visas to help applicants solve their worries about not being able to take care of their children's education. In addition, spouses who find jobs in New Zealand can also add extra points for student visa holders to apply for immigration after graduation, increasing the chances of both parties applying for settlement. However, it is difficult to apply for an accompanying visa in New Zealand. It is recommended that the applicant and his spouse know as soon as possible. Case 2: Mr. Zhang, who graduated from the Master of Medicine program in China, legally gave birth to a spouse studying in the United States during his family visa. Although he can find a good hospital job, there is still a gap between him and his ideal of further medical research. In order to realize his dream, Mr. Zhang chose to apply for a doctorate in medicine from Harvard University. When Mr. Zhang was admitted to Harvard University as a doctor, he also asked the school to take his wife abroad, hoping to get the help of the school. Finally, Harvard University sent the application materials for the F-2 family visa to Mr. Zhang's wife, and paid her living expenses in the United States, so that her wife could successfully apply for the F-2 family visa in the United States and go to the United States with Mr. Zhang. Within 12 months of the F-2 family visa, Mr. Zhang's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a China child with American citizenship. This made Mr. Zhang overjoyed and directly helped him solve his children's future education problems. Comments: According to experts studying abroad, spouses with F-2 family visas can legally have children in the United States. If the spouse or minor children of the American student visa holder (F- 1) want to apply for an F-2 family visa, they need to bring the I-20 form of family members, proof of kinship and proof of funds for an interview. For example, when Mr. Zhang's wife interviews, the visa officer will ask her if she can cook and how she plans to take care of her husband. In order to succeed in the interview, it is best for candidates to have simple interview training. Paging navigation page 1:
