Answer 1

I believe you need it after marriage, because you need to let her get an F-2 Dependent Visa, but its quiet complicated, I suggest you go to a student international office at the school you are studying at and ask them.

Unless your out of the country now...oh man...

I'll give you a little background about me, I came here with my father and mother, my father had an F-1 Visa and my mother (and I) had an F-2 Visa, we both got our visa at the same time, but I was very young so I did not know much then. When we got to the U.S. they issued an I-20 for my father, and an I-20 for my "family" (mother and me)...It not was much..

I went back to my country, got my own self an F-1 Visa and came back in the U.S. - and got my own I-20.
