Hi all,

Does anyone the procedure to convert F1 status to F2 after marriage with Nepali F1 status holder in USA?  If anyone knows best lawyers in this regard, please suggest and help me out of this problem!!!

I don't think this is that hard. Go to International Student Advisor/DSO of your school. Once you submit your marriage paper, he or she will probably issue a new I-20 for dependent. Is it that you looking for? If not please correct me.

Copi cat,

Thanks a lot!!! but the situation is  converting F1 status to F2 in US unlike bringing partner from Nepal under F2 status. Couples were married here in US few months back when both were in F1 status, now the girl wants to transfer status from F1 to F2.

Experts help needed, please!!!

1. If both are in same college:

you need to contact your International Office and  they will guide you how to do (What form to fill up, How much it cost etc). You need to apply to INS and it will take anywhere from 6-12 months. Both need to be in F1 status until spouce gets F2 approved.

2. If both are at different college:

Contact Int Office and informed them that your spouce is applying for change of status from F1 to F2. You need to apply to INS and it will take anywhere from 6-12 months. Both need to be in F1 status until spouce gets F2 approved.

3. If you have any questions or you didn't understand what your Int Office told you, post in this thread, I will help you.

Good luck.
