Please, can anybody help tell me what is the current available date for F2 dependent visas?

I know earlier dates in 2025 reopened at some point, but I don't know if we are still in 2025 or way into 2026. Someone who just applied, please help!!!

Thank you in advance.

Hi, please can anyone recommend me good schools to apply for someone that is looking for funding phd/masters in computer engineering. He got a good gre score (330), 2:1 GPA not evaluated yet.

The information you heard is not true. You can apply from any country especially as an F1 visa applicant. The only thing is that you must proof a kind of tie to such country or absolute reasonable reason which prompted you to opt for such 3rd nation. 👍

SimpleGuy001:
But we know we apply from other country cause naija is filled up. So how will people now prove tie to that other country when my place of residence and work is Nigeria? Is getting a residence in that country for a few weeks enough evidence? Or say a sibling is there? Does that work too?

An F2 dependent was able to select Oct. 15, 2025 for her VISA interview, but her kids are yet to get date. She tried to select the same dates, but unable to. Now, dates are mostly in Oct-Nov 2026.

Will she enter the interview area with her kids (since they will not be interviewed anyway)?

If the ViSA is approved, and kids are still yet to get date during the 3-month validity period, does it have any bad implication?

Are there more things expected in this case?

PS:
Her husband already in US since February and 3months Validlity is not applicable to him.

Thanks

Hello King. I would be sending you an email.now so I can send you the link to our F1 group for your date search.

Iriase1:
I personally can’t say for sure, since I’m also hoping to find a date soon in LAGOS.

But someone shared a tip with me: try checking daily, especially in the mornings (around 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM) and also at midnight.

It might also work for Abuja, so fingers crossed 🤞

SEPTEMBER 2025 IS AVAILABLE FOR ABUJA.

Go with the kids on your interview date, take along their documents. On your DS-160 you declare travelling with your children anyways, they only need to be physically present, no interviews if they are minor. Children under the age of 14 would be allowed in, unless the situation in Nigeria has changed.

Efetobore1980:
@hallysonia

If those kids (children) are above age 14 i doubt the possibility of allowing them to interview with the F2 - mother prior to the children's original dates.

**
If they are sucking babies or minors between age 0 to 6 and are absolutely dependant on their mother for their daily well-being, then, the possibility of considering them to interview with the F2- mother is higher.

The F2- mother should go with the kids, a relative and their documents, and if the kids are not allow in they should hang with the relative. However, the mother should go in with the kids documents and narrate the situation to the consular. Some consular might ask you go and fetch the kids in while some will place you on 221g in order to bring them back on another day or upload their documents to the embassy.

**
If none of the above happened then the F2- mother (3-months) visa won't affect anything on the kids application. I still believe that F1-visa must be flexible in terms or renewal , entry , etc regardless of how many days or weeks or months or year that is being issued.

As a quick stunt, let the F2 - mother apply for Emergency request for the kids by attaching her appointment letter , perhaps, the embassy might open dates for the kids which will align with the mother's date.

NB. Children under age 14 are exempted from verbal interviews but they must appear physically, or via drop box, or by email and that should be only on their appointment day. 👍

Chemist4life:
But this wrong,even though children under age 14 are exempted from verbal interview.
You must schedule an appointment for your child through the official visa scheduling website for the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country. This is a mandatory step for all applicants, regardless of age or interview requirements.
