policies for international married couples

[postpartum]

Is there anybody who knows the details of the procedures for the family policies for the international student couples? Any website or any experienced person will help a lot. The exact question is this: I have been admitted to a Sociology Program (PhD). My prospective husband (what do you call it, my fiance??) has applied but rejected from a different program at the same university. I was wondering if it would help him to be admitted or lead to my rejection if we had notified them about our plans about getting married.. Actually I am curious if US universitites has a policy of protecting the family unity or something like that, that would be helpful for us to stay together in the States... We are both international students.. I guess that each state has a different policy for that, but I dont know where to look for the policies..

Thank you

If the university decides to act on goodwill, it might work. Not otherwise. As far as I know, they won't give an admit to your fiance because you are planning to get married. Nor will they reject you based purely on that. I hear something about a fiance visa, but that works only when one of you is a US citizen. Again, I might be wrong here so check the US visa policies regarding the same, but I am pretty sure that a few years back married couples could get a visa together if even one of them was a student but they have stopped doing it now.

And by that I mean, it is still legal(migrating with your family) but the visa is very, very difficult to obtain, specially for people coming from countries usually associated with terrorism(like mine :roll: ).
