Hi

 

I am in the exact same situation too, except that my wife has already left for India. My F1 visa, and her F2 visa expired in Aug 6, and she left for India on Aug 12. I am trying to get her visa extended, and had hence talked to the Stanley center, and they said that I can use the dropbox to try to get her visa extended. My university also said the same, that I can try to extend the visa. However, there is no guarantee that it will be renewed.

If there is someone else who had a similar experience and got their F2 visa renewed with an expired F1 visa, please share.
