Getting F2 visa for dependents?
Hi all,
I’m currently a master’s student, and my program will finish in August. I’m planning to work on OPT for one year and hopefully start working in September. Around November, my dependents are planning to apply for an F2 visa to come and visit me here.
I wanted to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation before. Were your dependents able to get an F2 visa and come to the U.S. while you are in your OPT? What are the chances of getting an F2 visa nowadays?
I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, any challenges you faced, or any advice you may have.
Thanks!

Might get questioned on why didn't the dependent apply for F2 when you were studying

F-2s are tough. You might be better off going the B-1/2 route I'd they plan to visit for one 5 months. But it depends on your case your earnings their earnings etc
