Q: Do you need to show fixed assets for F2 visa interview for your spouse. Is it an absolute requirement?

A: Demonstrating strong ties to your home country and sufficient financial support are important aspects of the F2 visa interview, but owning fixed assets such as land or a house is not an absolute requirement.

Financial support:

1. You should be able to show that you have adequate funds to support your spouse during their stay in the U.S.

2. Bank statements demonstrating sufficient balance are usually acceptable as proof of financial capability.

3. It is common for parents or other family members to sponsor the F2 visa holder. If your spouse's father is sponsoring her, he may need to provide an affidavit of support and proof of his financial resources.

Ties to home country:

1. While owning fixed assets can help demonstrate strong ties, it is not the only way to do so.

2. Other evidence of ties may include employment prospects, family responsibilities, or social and cultural connections in the home country.

3. The visa officer will evaluate the overall circumstances to determine the likelihood of your spouse returning to their home country after the completion of your studies.

It's essential to provide as much documentation as possible to support your spouse's F2 visa application. However, the lack of fixed assets does not automatically lead to a visa denial if you can provide other compelling evidence of financial support and strong ties to the home country.

Please note that visa requirements can vary depending on the specific consulate and the applicant's circumstances. It's always recommended to consult the specific U.S. embassy or consulate website where you will be applying for the most up-to-date information and requirements.
