An M-2 visa allows a spouse or dependent child of a person on an M-1 visa to come into the U.S. with their family member. The M-1 is a student visa allowing individuals enrolled in non-academic vocational training in the U.S. to enter and stay in the country legally for the duration of their studies.

In order to qualify for an M-2 visa, the applicant must be the spouse or child under the age of 21 of somebody who has qualified for an M-1 Visa.

The M-2 visa allows its holder to enter the U.S., and during their stay, they can leave the country and reenter, just like the holder of an M-1 visa. A school-aged child on an M-2 visa is also allowed to attend elementary school. However, nobody on either an M-1 or M-2 visa can seek or accept employment.
