Dear experts,
I hope you are doing well and getting ready for the wonderful holiday season.
I was planning to go for the top Canadian MBA program, but my wife's dependent application on "open work permit" (common case when spouses come with their principal applicants/student) was refused due to two reasons: (1) VO didn't believe she will come back, and (2) VO didn't believe she answered all questions "truthfully". On the second one I later realized that we stupidly and unintentionally forgot to click "Yes" to the question that she was refused 3 times on U.S. temporary visa. I assume this was the reason and that's why my application was denied too (although the application looked strong in the eyes of my immigration consultant). Finally, as my Canadian program is about to start in a few months, I am afraid we won't make it on time so that's why I started looking into the U.S. MBA programs -- namely, a top 10-15 well-known business school.
We are from Central Eastern Europe. I have a valid B1/B2 visa until 2027, and I've been 4 times to the U.S., but my wife still hasn't. Her previous 3 refusals (applied separately without me) were my tries to bring her on my business trips for a week or so. We've been married since 2017, don't have kids. I have 20+ countries visited and my wife has around 10 (mostly Europe, Middle East).
The question is: what is the likelihood of us being approved both F-1 and F-2 visa given the above case. How does the fact of us being present together (not separately now) during an interview help? How does the brand university help here too? Any other considerations?
Many thanks in advance.
