I am on F-1 visa in the USA and have graduated with my degree. Currently I am employed and on STEM OPT. My wife (from Schengen area) got her F-2 visa approved two weeks ago with May 25th 2021 as issue date. Her visa says "NIE under all P.P.s on novel coronavirus".
1. Does she need to travel within 30 days of this issue date? Or, can she travel after 30 days?
2. Following the below guideline, will she be allowed entry if she travels within 30 days? Since I am not studying anymore, so there is no academic program to commence; and besides, if she travels within 30 days, then it will be before June 25th which is much before than August 1st. So, will she be allowed entry before June 25th?
"Students with valid F-1 and M-1 visas intending to begin or continue an academic program commencing August 1, 2021 or later do not need to contact an embassy or consulate to seek an individual NIE to travel. They may enter the United States no earlier than 30 days before the start of their academic studies"
Thank you.
