      • F-1 students planning of studying at A&M-Commerce or currently studying at A&M-Commerce may invite their dependent(s) to the U.S. during their studies as an F-2 dependent. A dependent is defined as the spouse and/or unmarried child (under the age of 21) on the F-1 student.

        If you have applied to A&M-Commerce be sure to notify the ISSS if you will have any F-2 dependents with you during your studies at A&M-Commerce. Students holding an F-1 visa who want to bring their dependent(s) to the U.S. will need to provide the following documentation to the ISSS:

        1. Copy of passport for each dependent
        2. Country of birth, country of citizenship, country of residence, date of birth, city of birth, and relationship for each dependent
        3. Updated financial support
        4. If the current financial information on record with the ISSS is more than one year old the F-1 student will need to provide updated financial support to show funding for at least one year of study ($26000 graduate, $28000 undergraduate). The F-1 student will also need to show an additional $3000 per dependent.
        5. Completed ISSS Statement of Finances and Sponsor Statement
        6. Copy of marriage license (translation to English required) if inviting spouse

        Effective May 29, 2015, the Student Exchange Visitor Program will allow F-2 dependents to enroll part-time in courses even if the course of study done part-time leads to or counts toward a degree.

        2. Rental contracts or agreements may be very difficult
        3. There may be extra expenses to consider when living off campus including utilities (gas, electricity, water)
