  1. Hello guys! Does anyone know anything about stipends at OleMiss???? I will be a TA and a MSc student in the field of geological Engineering!
  2. I'll be more than happy to hear from anyone who can share a piece of advice..
  3. @Midwesternaloha : Super!But how do I tell this to the consular and the school?
  4. My actual problem is how to persuade the consular for the j2 visa issuance as well as if there is any possible fellowship I can apply for. Does anyone know something?
  5. Hello guys! Me too I have same problem. I will be a MSc student with a TA assistantship position. I intend to bring my wife to the US on a J visa but the school tells me that I have to show an extra amount of $7000 in order to show that I can support my wife. My question is, how is it possible (either with a fellowship award or with my TA position or with anything else) to persuade the US consular and the school in order to issue the j2 visa to my wife?
  6. Hello guys and I am really really glad finding this post cause I've been searching for months the solution to my problem and my mind is going to blow from moment to moment!I am a Geological & Geophysical Engineer and I have been accepted into OLE MISS's Geological Engineering MSc program. My prospective advisor proposed me for a TA award since I had the qualifications as well as the Department was in need for new TAs. And here is where my problem starts. I would like to apply for the j1 visa in order for my wife to accompany me during my stay in the United States, and of course because she needs to work during our stay there (that's why F1 visa is not a choice) since the income from my TA award won't be enough (tough times nowdays ) in order for us to live there. After an unlimited research I did for the j1 & j2 visa issuance I found that I have to demonstrate financial adequacy for myself (which I profoundly have due to the TA award), as well as for my wife. The huge problem is that, if for example my stipend is $1,200/month (I don't know the exact amount yet) and I have to show an extra $600/month amount for my wife, we don't have these extra $600 to deposit ( and which I assume that they want the total amount predeposited, something which makes approximatelly $7,000/year) as financial support for the j2 visa. That's after all why we need her to be able to work during our stay there else we would't care. Is there a way ( a trick, a law,something the university could do, or anything) to overcome this difficulty and to take my wife with me? Please, if anyone knows anything that is able to help in my case and you like to share it with me, please let me know!Your opinions as well as your experiences are highly appreciated! Thank you very much!!!
