Hi,

I have secured admission in a NY university for spring 2010.
I intend to go for F1 visa interview next month ie november.
Then I am getting married to H1b holder in december.
My questions are:

1. is it safe to mention in my F1 visa interview that i wll be getting married to H1b holder in december before going to USA in Dec end?

2. Can i go on F1 and be married to H1b holder?

3. Do i also have to take H4 visa after we get married?

I do not want to get into the hassle of going on H4 and then converting to F1, it takes about 3 months and I wish to start working on campus given an opportunity.

Thanks, awaiting guidance.

Niki

Thanks for the response. Just wanted to check if ur answers are 100% correct as i wll be mentioning my fiance's name in my DS 156 form and also wen i wll go for my F1 interview. btw mentioning my intention of getting marrie din december to H1b holder will not create any problm while getting F1 visa right?

Thanks a ton
 
You mention in on the DS-156. Mention it at the interview only if asked. As a general rule, do not volunteer anything at the interview unless asked. If asked, tell nothing but the truth.

i wll be mentioning my fiance's name in my DS 156 form and also wen i wll go for my F1 interview.
