    Default Can Somebody in OPT Status Get a Visa for a Spouse

    Hi

    I m working on OPT on right now. My first year of OPT Will expire in Jan 2012. I am going to apply 17 month OPT Ext by Jan 2012. Also My F1 visa Will expire in Jun 2013. I am planning going to India after Jan 2012 to marry.
    Also I have in my mind about bringing my wife to US.

    I am not able to decide What Visa shall I apply for my wife F4 or F2.

    1. Will US consulate consider my Visa or OPT Ext I-20. Is there any risk in it. How should i prepare for it ..I mean what are all the documents my wife would need to support her visa ? and what document i need to provide her ?



    Can you please help me !!!!! I am so tensed from Visa rejection going on these days and risking my Career by going to my country.

    Thanks

    Default Re: I Am in Opt, Visa for My Wife???

    She is qualified for F2.

    Your visa is only for entry. Only if you have valid documentation for your OPT extension in hand and a job are you qualified for re-entry no matter what the visa expiration date. You may not have exceeded your unemployment time. Your time outside the US on your trip will count towards your 90/120 days of permitted unemployment on OPT.
