Hi All,
I am currently on F1-OPT STEM extension. I am getting married on Nov-27th. I intend to start my future wife's dependent application (F2) soon so that we dont get caught in the Christmas rush and that i need to be back in US on Dec 11. For this i intend to :
a. Apply for dependent on my i20 on Nov1 with the financial certification.
b. Book a visa slot on Dec 2nd/3rd by paying the fee at HDFC bank and the submitting the DS160 form.
c. Provide the marriage certificate(which i would get on Nov 28th) at the time of interview.
Some specific questions I wanted some clarity on:
a. Will me getting the dependent added on my i20 before wedding have any consequence?
b. Can i pay the fee at the bank before I arrive in India and book a slot ?
c. Will I be allowed to go into the immigration office with my wife during interview?
d. What are the general guidelines for F2 interview takers?
Any suggestions and pit falls that i should look out for are welcome.
Thanks,
Pramod
