F1 out of status / reinstatement or reentry on F2A
i am F1 out of status for month now. i got admission in new school and started school.

My question is should i go for reinstatement or re-entry on F2A?

I was on F1 since last five years, maintained my status well. Last month i fell out of F1 status.

I married to LPR, my I-130 is approved and my visa date is current.

So, If i go for re-entry on F2A in my home county is there any risk ?

Or try F1 reinstatement instead ?

Please advise

approved F1 visa and deferring admission 2nd time
Hello,

My F1 Visa(5years) was approved on December 17,2012 but due to 221g, I got VISA just week before of reporting date of univ(Spring 2013, jan 3), So I deferred my admission to summer 2013 giving 221g reason as I was not fully ready at that time.
But due to some family urgency now I am not able to go USA for summer, I also cancelled my ticket which I booked in January.
Now I want to attend Univ for Fall (August) on same F1 VISA.
I want to know whether my VISA is valid for FALL? and would I face any problems at immigration?.

I also informed my univ about this and they told me on phone that they accepted my request and processing my request to send new I-20 with same SEVIS as it will take one week time to process to send confirmation mail .

F-2 Visa approved during 2nd attempt
Hello,

Online forums at Immihelp and elsewhere were really helpful to understand and train my wife on possible questions that would be asked during the all her attempts.
I finished Masters in Geography in Dec 2011 and since then I've been working on regular OPT-EAD which expires in Dec 2012. It is a regular firm that I am working with but not a consultancy. When I sent my wife for a F-2 visa interview in November 2012, my OPT was expiring in Dec 2012 and also STEM OPT extension was under process but not confirmed. The officer just looked at her I-20 and asked for a copy of MY visa. He denied her a visa(under section 214(b) immigrant intent) in a heartbeat. NO Questions asked. Lasted for a Minute. Re-applied again on Dec 2012 but now with a confirmed STEM OPT extension. Officer asked her passport, I-20 and MY I-20 and a copy of STEM OPT card.
Asked a few questions like When did your husband graduate, Where is he staying now, Why din't you go with your husband. Answered with enough confidence. She has a visa now. This is an experience at Hyderabad consulate.

Few things that I learned:

1. Please try to be confident while answering questions.
2. You should rather wait until you have an OPT extension card and then schedule for an interview should you be in my situation.
3. Don't stop trying until you succeed. Don't change visa categories during visa appointments unless required.
4. Look for a nearest consulate from your home. Don't struggle to schedule an appointment elsewhere thinking it would rather be easy. Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, etc...all are the same. Places don't matter.

Thank You
