RealTrump:
focus on the interview on your interview for now. Usually the school will give you at least a week extra. Not like classes will start on 5th anyways but just be in touch with them so you don't have issues at the point of entry.

Worst thing that can happen is they will defer you to fall, and you will still use the same visa to enter. But I wrote first is the most likely option.

Hopefully you don't get administrative processing cos then you will have no option than defer.

In all, pass the interview first. One before the other

How do your F2 manage to get job and how do you cope with bills especially those with kids
