usa F1 থেকে F2 তে কনভার্ট যেভাবে করবেন!

আমি বর্তমানে আমেরিকাতে একটি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে মাস্টার্সে আছি।কিছু ব্যাক্তিগত কারণে এখন পড়ালেখা করার মত মানসিক অবস্থা নাই। আমার হাজবেন্ড ও ফ্লোরিডা স্টেটের একটি ইউনিভার্সিটিতে PhD প্রোগ্রামে আছে।
এখন আমি যদি F1 থেকে F2 তে কনভার্ট হতে চাই সেটা কি আমেরিকাতে থাকা অবস্থাতেই করা যাবে?
যদি করা যায় তবে কত সময় লাগতে পারে এবং কি কি ডকুমেন্ট লাগবে?

Yes, you can change your status from F1 to F2 while in the United States. The process to convert from F1 to F2 involves several steps and you’ll need to provide certain documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:

Request your husband’s support: Your husband, who is in a PhD program at Florida State University, will need to support your change of status from F1 to F2.

Complete Form I-539: You will need to complete Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. This form is used to apply for a change of status from F1 to F2.

Provide documentation: Along with Form I-539, you’ll need to provide the following documents:

A copy of your F1 visa and I-20
Proof of financial support (for example, bank statements or an affidavit of support from your husband)
A copy of your husband’s F1 visa and I-20
Proof of your husband’s enrollment in a PhD program at Florida State University
A copy of your marriage certificate
Submit the application: Submit the completed Form I-539, along with the required documentation, to USCIS.

Wait for a decision: The processing time for a change of status from F1 to F2 can vary, but it typically takes several months. You can check the status of your application on the USCIS website using your receipt number.

It’s important to note that while you’re waiting for a decision, you must maintain your F1 status. This means that you must continue to attend school and maintain the full-time enrollment requirement. If your application is approved, you’ll be able to change your status to F2 and join your husband as a dependent.

I hope this information helps. Good luck with the process!

আপনাকে I-539 ফাইল করতে হবে।
Get the F-2 I-20 and request for the status of F-2.
Also, include all the past I-20 to show that you maintained your status throughout.
After you have submitted, it may take some months (to even 6+). During that time, you will be in “Pending Adjudication” state (i.e. you are waiting for the decision from USCIS).

We had to do this once in our family, not very complicated, but include all the docs in the filing.
