The F2 also gets a 2 year visa. He/she is allowed to stay as long as the F1 visa remains valid but is not legally allowed to work.

Vicko3:
Good day great minds.

Please I'm currently engaged but on the DS-160 form there is no space for that there. Do I have to fill single?

Pls help

I don’t think Engaged is a marital status. I think you should just fill single

Take some time to learn from what went wrong, prepare again and re-apply

Hi everyone. So my family and I just got our visas! I’m f1. Husband is F2 and child F2. I had a child in the U. S back in 2019. The lady who interviewed us was scary. Lol. African American. We wer praying for the white lady to interview us cus she was nice to others especially students… but yea we got the African American lady. She thrilled us! Lol first question- why University of Saint Thomas? I told her that’s where I got my master of liberal Arts degree from back in 2014 and the school does more than teaching, it focuses on morals and ethics and it’s a tight knit community cause it’s a small school that makes it easy to interact with lecturers … She then asked when last I visited the US… I said 2019. She said how long did I stay? I said 5 months. She said why did I stay for that long? I said cus I gave birth. She asked if I told the consulate officer that I was going to give birth? I said yes I was taken through secondary interrogation where I showed them my doctor’s invitation letter and receipt of hospital bill… I then had to back track and explained how I went for my sister’s graduation and during the visit I had to do a doctor’s routine checkup. Then the doctor told me he could help me through the pregnancy with ease as I had gestational diabetes that he wanted to control through diet…. So long story short, she said my visa was revoked when my husband applied for his visa while I was in the U. S then. I told her I wasn’t aware that it was revoked because I didn’t commit any offense. That The consular officer then thought I wasn’t going to come back and that I have no reason to overstay. Then she said ok. Do you know that it’s now illegal for foreigners to give birth in the U.S that hope I don’t plan on having kids during my program. My husband and I said no o that we have two for now and we are ok until after the program…. Then she asked Who will be sponsoring your program? I said my dad. Then she asked what he did. I told her… she then faced my husband and asked what he does… my husband said he has a restaurant… then I whispered to him to add Cotonou that our restaurant is in Cotonou… then he added it. Lol. She asked who will be running it when we travel… he said he has staffs that run the business. She said staff as in? He said he has staff and a brother that will be running it on his behalf. Then she typed and faced me again. What do I plan to do with the program… I said to add to my current business which is for African youths and that I plan to use my doctor of education program to create a training institute for young adults… plus she asked if I had any relatives in the US. I said yes two sisters. She asked if my two sisters are citizens. I said no they are non immigrants. She said what are they doing there. I said one is on H1B and the other is a student. oh I forgot to mention that she noticed I didn’t write my full name when asked for other names used… I thought I was meant to write any other name I’ve been called so I used my short name and maiden name instead of using my full name… anyways she was like she was going to correct it manually from her end…. So yea she gave us the Visa… we packed soooo many documents and she didn’t even care to look down at any… I even tried to show her some , she didn’t even look; she was just looking at the system…

Congratulations to you and your family!
I tap into your blessings

No
You will be complicating things for yourself cos you will still have to present that same statement when it's time for interview and defending a friend sponsoring you might not fly with the VO.

So get the family member soa and use it so you don't waste your admission.

Does the embassy /VO have access to the POF/sponsor that you submitted to your school? What if it’s just written as personal funds in your I-20?

Please is there anyone going to Emporia State University this fall? Let’s connect

Good morning ya all. If you will like to have your interview at Abuja Embassy this fall 2022, and you are in search of date, do well by reaching out to me so you will be added to the Abuja search for date Group, Thank you.

Hi Gdine. Kindly add me to the Abuja Group. 0703944661. Thank you

Hello Team.
I’m new here.
I’ve learnt a lot from this thread.

Please assist with few questions

1. On my ds160, the question who is sponsoring your trip. Can I put my spouse as he is paying for my ticket? Does the embassy have access to the sponsor I used when applying as it is not on my I20? Or can I use another sponsor. (I’m applying for F1 visa)

2. I have an admission offer without any funding, no travel history and I’m traveling with a spouse and a son. If I make a trip to Dubai now, will it not seem obvious the trip is because of travel history for my F1 visa? Do the chances seem slim?


Please I need would appreciate your advise
