The M-2 visa works similarly to F-2 but is for dependents of M-1 students (vocational or technical training students). The spouse or children of an M-1 student may come to the U.S. on an M-2 visa. Like the F-2, M-2 dependents are not permitted to work. Children (under 21) can attend school (kindergarten through high school), and spouses may study part-time or take recreational courses. This visa allows M-1 students to study while keeping their families together in the U.S. We help M-1 students and their families with the M-2 application and advise on maintaining compliance with immigration rules.
