F-1 OPT and travel during pandemic
I am on F1 OPT and in the U.S. My OPT started in Jan 2021. My wife is in India and just got her F-2 visa. We both are Indian and haven't been able to meet. Would you please tell us if she can travel to the U.S.? Most places say that the program needs to start on or after August 1st, but I am very confused, given that my OPT began in January.
OPT is considered an ongoing program. She can travel now, subject only to the Covid-19 related health directives.
