Hello,
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I am currently a 5th year PhD student at a TIER 1 research university in USA.
My visa is valid May 2009-May 2014. My I-20 expires in August 2014.
My tentative graduation would be in May 2015 (maximum).
I plan to get married in Dec 2013.
Here are my questions:
Should I get renew my visa if I get my I-20 extended until 2015? I dont plan to go to India after Dec 2013 until 2015.
I want to bring my wife here in Dec 2013 itself. She already has B1/B2 visa status and has visited USA twice for work. We want to apply for her F2. What is the best route to take? Will they question her on leaving a good job in India and going on a non-working visa in USA?
What amount of money in our bank accounts should suffice. We plan to show $10k in each of our accounts with possibly more in hers.
I hear about high rejection rates? What would be the best case scenario in our situation?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Hardik
