USA Visas for family of flight students
Hi All,
Can anybody offer some advice or share their experiences on this situation.
I am intending to go to the US to get my JAA ATPL. Having sold my house to fund this I need to take my wife and 3 year old daughter with me, however at present we are having some problems with their visas.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation and did you manage get all the visas approved. If so how?
Thanks,
MD2K

Hi Matt,
http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_web...iv/student.htm
The above url contains the following paragraph:
Spouses, Children & Partners: Spouses and/or children under the age of 21 who wish to accompany or join the principal visa holder in the United States for the duration of his/her stay require derivative F-2 or M-2 visas. The application procedure is the same; separate forms I-20A-B or M-N will be required for each applicant if the I-20A-B or M-N was issued on or after February 15, 2003. If applying at a later date, a copy of the principal's visa must also be furnished with the application.
Spouses and/or children who do not intend to reside in the United States with the principal visa holder, but visit for vacations only, may be eligible to apply for visitor (B-2) visas, or if qualified, travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program.
Partners and common-law spouses should follow this link for further information.
So it looks as if they'll need F-2 or M-2 visas.

Hope this helps and all the best for the course.
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.

Add to Charlie Zulu.....the school you attend can complete the process for the dependent at the same time as the paperwork for the student-
Very easy to complete.....let me know if you have any questions as I personally complete the visa paperwork for students at a school in the US.

By adding dependent information to the student’s SEVIS record, SEVIS will create a separate dependent Form I-20 (F-2 or M-2), and will assign a unique SEVIS ID to each of these dependent records. This Form will serve as the dependent’s eligibility documentation for visa issuance purposes and for entering the U.S. as a dependent of a student.
