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.
