To invite dependents (wife, husband, and/or children) to the U.S. after your arrival, you need to send them an I-20A/B or DS-2019 issued in your name so they may obtain their U.S. visas. Dependents of J-1 visa holders will receive J-2 visas. Requests for these documents must be made in the OIP (or to your sponsor for those on DS-2019's from other agencies). Proof of adequate financial support (as indicated on the Declaration and Certification of Finances) for the family's stay will be required in order to obtain an I-20A/B or DS-2019 from the OIP.
...What is OIP??
My name is Yuki Ikarigawa. I'm going to stay at Carleton college as a teaching assistant of Japanese from this September to next June on FLTA program.
I'd like to know if I would make J-2 Visa for my wife, Fulbright or Carleton college(where I go as a teaching assistant of Japanese) notice that??
Do I have to get their permission??
I tried to find the information on the web but I couldn't.
This is the first time of going abroad, so there are a lot of things I don't know.
I'll do my best to find information I want, but if you know about J-2 Visa, please tell me.
