thanks for sharing guys.

actually my spouse applied F2 when i went to nepal on 2006 december. that day one nepalese guy broke some glasses inside the embassy when his visa was rejected. may be that was the very bad day. nobody got the visa. she is the one who came out last on that day. though they kept him/her inside for long time, they reject. they did not say anything except, "your spouse is almost there to finish his/her study, it si not worthy to travvel for short period"

later on s/he applied again on my graduation. that time s/he was not planning to stay here as an dependent. s/he was on her final semester back in nepal. s/he told the visa officer that s/he is just going to attend the graduation and will come back to take the final exam. but  that time also rejected. US embassy  told her "once your spouse have H1-B, we will issue the visa. we can't stop you at that time".

Now my H1-B ----not withdrawn. I have only few options (I) go back to nepal; which i really don't want to do on this terrible situation (2) go back to universtiy and apply on dependent (3) let my spouse apply F1

i don't know which one is a good

BTW, timer, don't let your wife apply dependent visa when you are on OPT.

STAT, Thanks. i'm planing to go back to the university for another degree rather than community college to maintain the status. i will try RA/GA this time. lets see what happen. but man, US embassy in Kathmandu really sucks. i have seeen they have issued the visa to some nepalese who are in community college and applied F2 for their spouse. i don't know why they treat people differently.
