If you have already applied for a F2A visa for your wife and then apply for a student visa they will ask a lot of questions....it may not be that easy. I know of people who have tried this and have been denied. Subsequently it caused them more harm than good because everything got delayed....

You can't "call your wife" but she can apply on her own merits. Generally she has to show that she has enough money to pay for school, and prove that she has ties back to her country so that she won't use a student visa to immigrate. I would think that since your plan is for her to come to the US to wait until she immigrates, that she will be denied, because student visa applicants must not have the intent to immigrate when they apply/enter the country. Good luck.

If they sent your file to the NVC it is because Visa's are available. I waited 3 years before it went to the NVC from the CSC because no Visas were available. Once it got the the NVC it went quite rapidly. Got all the documents (translations alone took an extra 4 months), paid the bills and within 9 months had interview at Consulat on Monday May 9th and am now waiting on Visa's from Consulat. Hope this bit of information will help. Good luck!

PS I am not a newbie...I been on VJ since 2007 but could not remember my login or password...I had actually given up on VJ because the information was so confusing...sometimes even contradictory.
