David T., Astana, KazakhstanFAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between U.S. Visa F1 and U.S. Visa F2?
U.S. Visa F1 is for international students studying in the U.S., while the U.S. Visa F2 is for their spouses/children under 21 (dependents cannot work or study full-time).
Can I work while on an U.S. Visa F1?
Yes! F1 students can:
- Work on-campus (up to 20 hrs/week during school terms).
- Apply for CPT/OPT (paid internships or post-graduation work for 1–3 years).
Can my F2 spouse study in the U.S.?
Yes, but only part-time/recreational classes (no degree programs). They must apply for an F1 visa to pursue full-time studies.
What if my F1 visa expires while I’m still studying?
No problem! Your visa stamp can expire—just keep your I-20 valid and maintain full-time enrollment.
How long does F1/F2 visa processing take?
Typically 2–8 weeks after your embassy interview, but apply 3–6 months before your program starts.
What’s the "5-month rule" for F1 visas?
If you’re outside the U.S. for over 5 months, you may need a new visa/I-20 to reenter (exceptions exist).
