F1 OPT Marriage F2

[sodas]

I am on F1 OPT right now and going to India in a week to get married. I have heard that people have been denied F2 on OPT. I would be coming back in Jan and applying for H1B. In case of a F2 rejection, what bearing does it have on an H4 application.

Thanks in advance.

Hello :

I dont know how true your information is. I got married while on OPT and my wife got F2 without any problem. That was back in 1998 though (Chennai Consulate)

Even if your wife is rejected, she should not have any problems in getting H4 visa.

I know recent cases in which people with multiple rejections for visiting visas getting H1s without any questions asked (Delhi Consulate)

Hope this helps.
