Can I Bring Along a Family Member?
Posted on | November 28, 2009 | Comments Off
Thanks to all of you who have written in with questions. Here’s one question that is worth adding an answer to for others in a similar situation:
Question:
Can a fellow have a family member accompany them during the period of study? For example, a child or spouse?
Answer:
An international student may bring along a family member as a dependent on an F-2 or J-2 visa. Please see this link to the website for NYU’s Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS).
This OISS link provides information about entering the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 student visa.
Just one note: Please check the site thoroughly before emailing any questions. We’ve tried to anticipate most likely questions so check all the links, or use the search box on the left, before firing off an email. And a reminder that if you do apply, it has to be done the old fashioned way: by mail.
