Yes, you may be able to bring your dependents with you to the United States on a Q1 visa. Dependents typically include your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.
To bring your dependents, you would need to include them in your Q1 visa application or file separate applications on their behalf. The program sponsor should be aware of your intention to bring dependents and may provide guidance on the application process.
When applying for dependent visas, you would need to provide the necessary documentation to establish the relationship between you and your dependents, such as marriage certificates or birth certificates. Additionally, you may need to show proof of financial support to demonstrate that you can adequately support your dependents during their stay in the United States.
It’s important to note that dependents of Q1 visa holders are typically issued Q3 visas. The Q3 visa allows the dependents to accompany the primary Q1 visa holder but does not provide work authorization. Dependents can attend school while in the United States on a Q3 visa.
It’s recommended to consult with your program sponsor or an immigration attorney for detailed guidance on the process of bringing your dependents with you on a Q1 visa. They can provide you with specific information and assistance tailored to your situation.
