Thnks Priya....it is very helpful. this I-134 is for people working in US to support their relatives coming to US right? Is it needed for me since my hubby is working in India only. or a plain typed sponsor letter is enough? has it to be notorized? sorry for so many Qs

You dont need the form, I was just trying to give you a format. Yes a plain paper with his signature shall serve the purpose. Some people recommend using a stamp paper for such letters, but I used a plain paper from my dad saying he will sponsor my trip.

hi..im new user here...im preparing for step 1..taking in july im at US on F2 visa...how can i get it converted to JI....plus can i do obersevership etc on on my current stautus or take cs?

  #57

i dont think there is any problem in converting F2 to J1 you wont have any problem in your case. Yes you can do observership on J1 unless and until the Hospital or University has any specific requirement or limitation. For example some universities have specific reqt of letting the FMGs do an observership only on B1/B2. so check with the place you're doing an observership.

hello everybody...this thread has been very helpful...

my visa iv is on 5 june....

In the DS-156 i mentioned the name/address/phone no. of my dad's friend who i would be staying with, in USA....but many people warn against mentioning friends/relatives address on the ds form and in the iv ... should i change it and mention the details of the hotel i would be staying in atlanta? or it doesnt matter ?

I am taking a Cover letter..i am a med student and will come back for sure, to complete my course here.....i have mentioned this on my cover letter and i have also taken a letter from the dean allowing me to take leave for 2 weeks for CS n travelling...i want the VO to know this somehow...so should i present the VO the cover letter at the counter as soon as the iv begins even if the VO dont ask for it, coz they dont usually ask for it? grin

thankyou so much...smiling face

lakshya, I dont think it wil harm you if you mention that you will be staying with a relative but being on a safer side you can mention the nam eof the Hotel, NObody will call the hotel and confirm whether you're staying there or not!

In second case you can give the cover letter, it wont harm but its better to respond to the questions which the Officer asks first, if you feel the need you can present the paper, but I will say don't worry and take it easy, Answer what you're asked say what they want to know.
