Very important information

= If you had any minor fine such as reporting delay for moving ,then your point will be deducted

= If you got a fine for reporting delay and your family has dependent visa on you then you will get their fine too

For example you have a wife and one kid ,then you get 3 fines which means you will be banned to apply for the F2-7 visa for 2 years

= If you hold a D2 or D10 visa and want to switch to F2-7 visa , then your salary neither income tax will be 0

= volunteer work  – you have to fill one year period

Even if you fill the time and hours you can fail if you don’t fill the period

= If you apply for F-2-7 visa from D2 or D10 visa, then the work condition has to meet the E7 visa condition
