ANS bolded. you can send me a pm if you are confused

GFavor:
@Chibertha and all others who are in the US with Spouse and children I have some questions:
I have 2 kids both are citizens so I will be applying F2 for hubby but the school says show POF for every child and spouse, is this still necessary for my kids?

Ans - you do not need POF for the Kids just update their passports and fly ( do not mention your kids to the school again
only request for F2 I-20 for your husband.


2. Will the VO not check my POF and say it's not enough for the whole family, though, from what I have read, hubby will say he is not staying just coming to visit with the kids when they are on holidays.

The only thing you should take for your kids is proof of medical bill payments and Zero balance from the hospital so that if you are asked you can show them.
Yes POF will be checked for your husband. Your kids can come and stay with you, if hubby can come why not
My husband is in Nigeria though due to his job its not easy for him to pack up and fly


3. So, is it possible for Hubby to change status from. F2 to maybe H1B. What is the process.

only if he is in a highly sort after specialized field he might go the EB2 NIW route (use google to find out what this means)

her kids are US citizens they do not need F2 I-20 hence no need for POF for them
pompeiimagnus:
See responses:

1. Since you are applying for a student visa, you must show POF for your kids and spouse if they will be accompanying you. There’s no way around this unless you are a PR or citizen.

2. Your school can give you a breakdown of the POF required for each child and/or spouse. You need this POF for both the I-20 & visa interview.

3. I told someone here to be mindful of advising people that they can just change status, but he fought me over this. Your husband needs a company to sponsor him for the H1B work visa in March 2023, if he gets picked in the lottery he can then adjust status in October 2023. The H1B lottery is always drawn in March, so the company must register him before then. I’m not going to lie, getting H1B sponsorship from F2 is going to be really hard.

start by applying to schools who do not require GRE

Anfieldboss:


From your moniker, You just might be my namesake.

I'm working towards PhD Fall 2023 also.

My discipline is Electrical Engineering. At the moment I am preparing for my GRE and it has really been demanding. Combining work, family and trying to study has not been easy, but God has been helping me.

I will be taking my GRE August, If you're taking the test we can connect.

Hello @chibertha

For the English Test always request for your school(Undergraduate) to write a letter of English proficiency for you to back up that all your courses were taken in English.
Always write to the Graduate study coordinator/advisors. They are in the best position to waive your application fee and give the best advice to help your application.
That's part of their job.

Hello. Please does emergency appointment time fluctuate just like regular appointment. I got emergency visa appointment approval today and was seeing November 2022 as earlier date. I then logged out and login again and saw 17th August. I logged out for the second time, when I log again I saw that 17th August elapsed. Now the earliest is 18 August. Kindly advise me as my start date is 19 August and I’ve three days to schedule my EA.

You are right. I sent them email about waiving application fee and TOEFL test, and here's their response...

We would be happy to grant you a fee waiver! All we need is your CAS ID located at the top right of your application.

In regards to a TOEFL waiver, we will need your transcripts that show that English was the primary language of instruction.
