How do I Get an F2 Visa in Korea?

An F2 visa allows the dependent of an F1 (student in academic or language program) to live in the United States. Under this visa, the applicant must be a dependent of a Korean student who is traveling to the U.S. "for academic study, English-language instruction or vocational training," according to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. An F2 may be either a child under the age of 21 or a spouse.
