Can a F2 Visa Holder Take a Credentialing Exam

[pankaj2121b027]

I am currently working on OPT and after 10 months I will get H1B.

My wife is staying with me in California as F2 dependent.

I now that dependents are not eligible for full-time study / degrees on F2 visa.

My wife want to get California Teaching credentials (required for applying as teacher in school).

Is she eligible to appear for such credential exam ?

You are mistaken. F2 spouses are not permitted to engage in educational activities (other than certain recreational/non-vocational type). She can do this once she is an H4 spouse on your H1B or she can apply for F1 status herself.

Your best resource for questions regarding F-1 and F-2 is the DSO at your university.
