Dear LucyMo:
I still have a question for you. Besides the scenario I just mentioned. Another thing is that my wife's I-20 extends until this August
. Is it too late for me to fill F2 status on her, now is April. By the way, my wife can change her graduation date to December, is it better to apply f2 on her extended graduation's I-20. Thanks.

Dear every one.
I am a F1 and my OPT ends this May. I have not found a job yet. I want to transfer to F2. My wife is a F1 student now and her I-20 ends in this August. There are some complications in my situation. Although my wife is a F1 student, she has found a job and now she is on her OPT (Mar/05 to Mar/06). I am wondering if my F2 application will be denied. Also my wife is about to apply H1 after April 1st, and I want also get a H4.
Dilemma:
My opt ends this May, I have to get a F2 on my wife.
Before the approval of F2, I need to apply H4 which starts on April 1st.
any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
LucyMo
since you have time till may, you can apply for H4 at the same time as your wife applies for H1. IN any case, you can apply for F-2 just before your F-1 status ends. Later you can apply to change your status to H4.
