It is necessary. If you are carrying dependents there is a quoted amount (i.e $3000 per dependent) in addition to tuition and other costs. It is the right thing to do. And it doesnt normally specify whether the child is a citizen or not. As long as you are an intl student, any other company is classed as dependents Gratefulaheart: |

Mekurexx: According to DHS an intl student must complete 9 credit hours so as to be in status on F1. But I dont know if your school is given a special privilege. One thing I know is nothing is impossible in America. |

Mekurexx: At 6 credit that will take 3 years to complete .......Maybe its a special arrangement with the school but 6 credit is not the standard and will be considered out of status . If in doubt all information are listed somewhere online |

Also at the POE, your i20 will be checked. And if it only shows provision for you alone and then you show up with your kid, I believe it will raise serious questions. That is the reason for the dependent notification on the i20 request form. Its best to do things accordingly Gratefulaheart: |

I believe you realize there is an option to take classes in the summer. For my program, with summer included it will still take 2yrs for completion. This subject is not up for argument as I specifically mailed my sch and they confirmed 6 is good. Plus take into consideration the total credits for programs differ. Lets not overflog this.

Mekurexx: I don't mean to be rude to you, I just want to correct something quickly. Each department makes course schedule based on availability of classrooms and profs, it's been set before the semester even started. So I don't think any students can change the department course schedule. If a schedule doesn't work for you, you can always pick another class (for a large class such as for undergrad). For grads, the class is always small, so there is no way you would get 2 profs teaching this same course. Secondly, grad students do go to school everyday, e.g in my first and second semester, I went to school everyday (i will screenshot the schedules for you later). I think my third was like that too. Finally, for a full time international grad students, minimum credit hours is 9 and max is 12 credit hours per semester and undergrad minimum is 12 credit hours per semester. However, for the grad students, you can be allowed to register as low as 1 credit hour in a semester if what's left in your totally credit hours is ≥ 1 credit hour or the last of your thesis is 1 credit hour. 2 Likes |

Nah you were not rude. I never made mention of course schedule. For most schools, you get to see list of courses (which indicates fall/spring). Convenient timetable is picking courses you will like to do that is convenient (time factor)(i.e having classes by 8pm, 6pm etc) my sch for example, u dont get to register for classes(grad students) till u arrive school and after orientation, u sit down wirh ur assigned academic advisor and work out a timetable; while some schools u register ur classes before u even leave nigeria. For the minimum credits, yes i know it is 9 but my sch, grad students it is 6 and classes is not everyday. One has the option of taking an online class(to make it 9)but 6 is OK. I was talking based on my sch specifically and not some hearsay info. I know the info i gave will be subject to scrutiny but it is not information I made up. So in summary schools differ imperiouxx: |

The info I gave as regards to credits and classes is just for my school specifically. Always check and confirm with your school. Cuz I specifically asked my sch(intl office and cashiers)- even though the info was on the sch website, I wanted to be double sure. I'll try to be more general when responding. ![]() |

Gratefulaheart: A US citzen is not classified as F2 dependent ,hence you dont need any financial requirement or put it on the i20 (those are f2) . The US Citizen child is seen as going home and passes through |

But she is not a US citizen. Besides the kid is in Nigeria. Dont you think at POE she will be asked for proof of provisions made for the kid on the i20? It will be a big gamble if its not indicated on her I-20 cuz she will be traveling with the kid and her intent is to study biikeys: |
