Hi,
I’m French, living in the US since September 2021, under a non-immigrant L-2 visa, as a dependent of my father who has an L-1. I have been studying in a college since last year, as allowed with my L-2. However, beside studying, L2 does not allow to do much in the US, not even internships. So, in agreement with my parents, I am going to apply for an F-1 student visa. I already have the I-20 form from my college, and all the required documents. I am planning to fly back to France for the F-1 visa interview, and then come back in the US join my family again with my newly approved F-1. I know that usually F-1 visas process goes smooth assuming you meet all the requierements and have all documentation, but I have the following concern : when I will fly back to France for my F-1 interview at the US embassy, let’s imagine that my F-1 is not approved, for some reason, can I still come back to the US with my L-2 or is my L-2 not valid any more, and then I would be unable to come back to study in the US ? Thank you for your help . Zor
