Hi, presently I am on a J2 visa and looking for residency match in the US medical schools. My husband is currently on a J1 visa and doing his residency training. If I am matched this year, is it possible to convert my J2 visa to J1? Do I need to leave the country and apply afresh for J1 visa or can I apply for the change (from J2 to J1) while in the US itself? Do I have to leave US for two years before applying for J1 visa? My husband's J1 visa has a 2 year home country return clause when he completes his training. However, as of now he will complete his residency in the next 5-6 years. Are there any other visa types that I can apply for my residency training? Your advice will be of very high help to plan my residency training in the US.
