Hi Jibatma! I had a small problem like that after I graduated from college. After I finished my OPT, I saw several of my friends didnn't join the college or didn't find the job for 2-3 months. So, I thought I will do the same thing. Then I didn't want to go to college to do master because I don't have money as well as my husband is finishing his master degree after a year. So, I decided to go to F-2. I talked with International advisor, they were alright with it. After I filled my case to DHS, it came back. I filled it again for 2nd time, it came back to me again and it said I need to file to different DHS. I filled it for the 3rd time to DHS they mentioned. After 4-5 months letter, they asked me some more documents like marriage license and reason why my case is delayed bla, bla,. I asked the international student (ISA) advisor to write a letter. ISA wrote a very good letter and I send the documents they asked. We consult the lawyer, he didn't give positive respond. Then my husband and I decided, we will file and wait and incase if it it got rejected, we will go back home. Fortunately, it got approved less than a week after I send the documents. Now my husband is working in H1B. He applied his HIB first, after it got approved, I filled for H4 and it got approved less than a month. So, my advice to you is just file your friend's H1B first. When it got approved, then file his wife's. My advice to all Nepali Student is do not copy what your friends do. If my case was disapproved, I would have never forgive myself. Thanks God.
