Slimmy, no oo. The requirements are more. He needs to pay health insurance bill for me......

That's nothing. You pay the same when you become F1. You already flopped the F2 opportunity like others have told you. Spouse of F1 usually apply for F2 not B2, even if you're just to visit him for a day. If he still has 1 year to go, try F2 or you wait for your time and face your F1 interview. Best!

Stem : after F1 study graduation you will be given one year OPT , then after the one year you can apply for extension for another 24 months ..... Making it a total of 36 months after graduation . However you need to be in employment to get the 24 months extension and the JOb must be related to your field of study .....So yes if you qualify that would be 3 years work permit

However this has nothing to do with Greencard ........ For green card work route , usually your employer would need to file a work visa called H1B (which i guess within that 36 months so the earlier within that time frame the better). Then after h1B visa at some point then file for Greencard ....... Once you have an approved Greencard then 5years later Citizenship . Gosh it seems like many years ahead but time goes by fast and if you are lucky at some point you get to the END (which becomes clearer once u see an approved greencard) ......So for now, its to take it one step at a time .. Also check Canada they have a faster route if you want stay

Thank you for your prompt response, which school can I apply to get scholarship as well as get a job easily after graduation with masters in chemical engineering. So as to benefit from this three years post study, so one does not need to rush back to Nigeria after studies due to lack of employment

This answer too broad.....i am not in engineering so cant really help you with schools. Take GRE.TOEFL and target fall session then research well for schools also research on their campus recruiting strength if u want to stay behind

..and xcaper, you need to get a job within 60 days of graduation to qualify for OPT. So, OPT is not automatic!
So what hapens if one fails to get a job within 60 days after masters in engineering ?

Wonderful people on here.....

Guys, the first prof I mailed has caused some 'ish' for me. He replied almost immediately and we got talking.... The other schools professors I'm mailing, Damn!....I'm still waiting if they would reply tomorrow, 2 weeks plus now... No word... Like 3 different people...

Should I send reminders? And how often?

Yes you can definitely send reminders , just be polite and professional.... it even shows you are persistent because you really want it . .. no too frequent sha because everything should be done in moderation so once every 2 to 3 weeks . ..

No word......Yes it happens oo. They get busy with other things. also its possible they haven't responded because they have internal time frame they are working

Hello house, is it true that U.S. now gives three years post study work permit to student after completion on Masters degree, then at the end of the three years post study making five years after masters admission one is qualified to apply for green card. Please Some one should confirm this.

Wildest dreams or a hypothesis?

You get one year OPT which you can extend with another 2yrs if you get a job directly in your field of study.

1 year + 17 months extension + 60 days to leave. That's still not up to 3 years.

Enroll in some course to extend your I-20, change your F-1 status to another or carry your bags and leave...those are the major options you have.

Sometimes it might be more than #500 because the weight varies if the documents you are sending is much..
