12月16日寄出APPLICATION PACKAGE，之后不安的等待，元旦收到RECIEPT。今天上网查已APPROVED！！！
我是自费的，LP全奖。
我寄的材料很简单，只是基本材料，没有结婚证明，没有房产证明，更没有居住地证明。
之前看到网上要居住地证明，我很慌张，交家里也办了一份寄来，作好了补充材料的准备。结果没用上。
最后，我的银行证明一部分是国内的，一部分是提前一个月借了存入的，共提供9个月的学费生活费，且只提供银行的DEPOSIT VERIFICATION。没有什么几个月的流水账之类。
我想是不是3月11日之前申请的都会较容易呢。

能在学校开学前APPROVED，我是意想不到的。不过我问了学校的国际学生办公室，他们说只要我已交了申请就能读FULLTIME，还说INS一定会给我转身份，并说这是很自然的。
感谢所有关心F2的网友，希望这消息对正在焦急等待的F2予鼓励。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
耳朵自己的理解和补充说明：
3.11号的规定
这个规定是指已经以F2身份全时读书的学生必须在今年3.11号之前递交INS转身份申请，和我们正在申请秋季的呆在家里的F2毫无关系。:)

2.copy of admission letter  
3. New I-20
4. copy of my passport
5. copy of my visa
6. copy of my old I-20
7. copy of my I-94  


8. copy of my wife's admission
9. copy of my wife's passport
10. copy of my wife's visa
11. copy of my wife's I-20
12. copy of my wife's I-94  


13.Certificate of deposit in our account in USA

还有，我入境时 I-20也没有盖章。至于能不能读fulltime则因校而异。建议寄资料之前
先让学校ISSO的人帮忙看以下，毕竟他们有经验。
