Hello everyone!! How often can I check for available appointment dates in a day? If I have already picked a date, can I still be able to view earlier dates when they become available?
Thank you

[quote author=damkanlinsin post=122180159]Hello house, please all advice will be welcome thank you in advance.

I will be having my court wedding ending of next month. But my wife want to apply for admission now. Please hope this won’t be an issue when applying for F1 and F2 visa as I’m the F2 applicant.

And also is it advisable she use the name on her first degree for the application or my own surname she will be using after the court wedding.

Thank you In advanced to you all.

First of all, she should be able to show proof of funds that can sustain both of you. And you both will have to prove that you are not going with her you be a burden to the us gov. So it will be better if you can establish that you have a job that you can do remotely.
This is just my thought, because if she applies with a dependent without proving all these things might also affect her chances of getting a visa.
I too gained admission into MSU and was given the same advice by my friends who are there already. They advised that I go first and then he can come over after sometime, that when I have been able to get enough funds for both of us and established so footing over there.

[quote author=Ebisign post=122182684][/quote] thank you so much for the advice. We are newly getting married. And I’m into tech and freelancing I work from home and I own a farm and have enough to say in my bank account and she is also an area manager in one of our Nigeria bank. She has enough also in her bank. We are thinking of her apply first and once granted I can apply also for F2 she will be going before me I will join her after some months. Will this work please advice. Thanks a lot.

Yes. This is good plan. I think it will work. If she goes before you. When a couple is going together on an F visa, it looks to the VO that this people are not planning to come back. During the interview for an f1 visa, one has to convince the VO that the person is just going for studies and plans to come back. When she has gotten the visa and traveled, you can start working on yours to join her.
On whether to use her maiden name or yours, its left for you guys to decide. As long as she has all the necessary documents to back up the change of name. I don't think it should be a problem. Maybe someone else can speak better on this.
I wish you guys all the best in this process.

BigIyanga:

Just like most people have said, POF is required for your 2 dependents. Stipends only cover you.
Your financial aid office is in a better position to explain this ambiguity to you.

Yes,it has been clarified.The 23599k is for my deficit and 2 dependents.My assistantship includes full tuition waiver and monthly stipend .

Thank you

So are you saying I can pick an earlier date if it becomes available, Even though I have initially picked a date that is after my program start date?
