Hi all,
Please advise me on a few things regarding F1 visa renewal. I'm pursuing my PhD in USA in Computer Science. My visa expires in June 2014. I had a 4 year visa since I got 221g the first time. I plan to visit India in Dec 2013 to get married and renew my F1 visa at the same time. I have a few questions:
1. What is the earliest that I can apply for visa renewal? I've heard the time frame 6 months from everyone but I haven't seen anything concrete on any website.
2. Since I'll get married around the same time as my visa renewal (perhaps a day or two before), how should I handle the questions related to marital status etc. in the visa application? My fiance works in the USA and will be on H1B at that time. I do not want to give the visa officer any reasons for rejecting my visa so I'm a little apprehensive about this.
Thanks for your time and help!
