No F2 visa slots in India. Possibility of B1/B2 visa for spouse.

Hello,

I have been looking for F2 visa slots for two months now but to no avail.

I am thinking of applying for B1/B2 visitor visa for my spouse for the time. I am looking for advice if there is a possibility of visitor visa going through. 

Context to show ties in India: My spouse was working for a couple of years in India. After marriage, a couple of months ago, they've joined our own business.

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the US working on Post Completion OPT. My OPT expires mid August 2026. I will be applying for STEM OPT extension Mid May 2026 (90 days before).

I am also in the process of looking for F2 interview dates for my spouse in India.

What are the chances of my spouse getting an F2 visa approval with 3 months remaining on my OPT? She can also mention that I will be applying for stem opt which would give me an extension of 2 years.

Should I wait for my stem opt approval to come through before applying for her F2 visa interview?

I am sure the second one is the safer option. I am trying to evaluate if applying for F2 on post completion OPT is an extremely bad choice.
