Dependent Invitation Form (F-2 & J-2) |
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
~This form is to be used by those students and scholars who would like to invite a dependent to join them in the U.S.~
The Center for International Studies will issue the proper immigration document (I-20 or DS-2019) once the completed form has been received.
For students in the F-1 category, WFU requires the following amount in terms of available financial support for each sponsored dependent:
$7000
The principal visa holder can verify this amount through the presentation of current financial documents, such as a bank account balance, certificate of deposit, stock holdings, or some other type of financial asset that can be easily accessed and/or liquidated. Such things as real estate, jewelery or any other type of non-liquid asset may not be used as a source of financial support. Proof of financial support is not required of non-students in the J-1 category.
If you have questions about obtaining F-2 or J-2 status for your dependent, please contact Kent Greer of the WFU Center for International Studies.
