1. I and my wife have a visitor's visa to the US (B1). Can I use this to travel to the US for the CS exam? Also can my wife use her visa to give NBDE part 1 in the US? Does the US embassy need to be told about my purpose of visit here or at the US entry point?

2. Suppose I get a residency, can my wife join me on my visa? And can she persue dental studies in the US on this visa? Or will she require a seperate visa for herself?

3. My sister is a US citizen. How can she help me in getting a GC / work permit?

1. You can give exams on visit visas, but check the visa sites for more info.
2. If you get a residency, i think your wife cant join you with it, unless you specify she is dependent. Still depends upon your visa and program. ANd she needs a separate visa for her dental studies.
3. You sister can nominate you for a GC, not a work permit. But since she is a sibling, you will get your GC only after 11-14 years. I am surprised she hasnt applied for your GC yet.

America VISA regulations change almost every other year. And there are more than a 100 things to consider before any one rule can apply. So please refer to the updated regulations on the official US visa website.

Hey guys!!
My CS exam is on 15th May and I am taking step2 ck on 31st march. It means I will get the result of step 2 by 30th April. So I am thinking to take my visa appointment in the first week of May???
I mean just a week before my departure ticket date i.e 10th May?
1. Is it ok if I take the interview with such a short gap in between interview and departure date. I am doing this as I would be having my step 2 score in my hand which I can show the VO.

2. Is it Ok to depart on 10th May if I have exam on 15th May or should I go earlier. I would be staying in one of m friends house, so no problem with house searching etc.

3. Is it essential that I produce my property documents properly evaluated by authorised evaluator or just an approximate evaluation by my CA will be sufficient in NET WORTH certficate provided by him.

All the advices are welcome.

Thanks Ravi for all the info.
1. I understand that you get a J1 visa for residency. How difficult is it to get an H1? Do all colleges offer an H1?
2. If my sister applies for a GC now, wont my current B1/ B2 visa be invalid? I understand that one cannot travel to the U.S. if someone applies for an immigrant visa or GC for you?
3. How can me and my wife pursue our studies together and continue with our careers in the U.S
?
