Default Can my Wife travel to US on Visit visa if I'm on F1 status?
Hi,

I am getting married in December 2009. My wife already has a 10 year Visit visa to US. I am a student on F1 visa. Can I bring my wife on the visit visa (even if it is for a max. of 6 months)?

I appreciate any help and input in this issue.

Thank You,

Amit

Check with your international students office. In our time, they needed to sign the I-20 before you/your wife can leave the country. I also think she needs a separate I-20 with a F2 endorsement. She should not just carry your I-20 with her name in it, then you are supposed travel with her. Again, these were the old rules and I am not an attorney and this is not a legal advise, just from my personal experience.

this only applies if your spouse does not have any other visa. In the Op's case, she already has a 10 year visa, so she is okay to visit. Just make sure that you are able to show the necessary funds for support when she lands here.
