I was refering to a previous post regarding change of status from B1/B2 to J2 within the US by filing I -539 for COS.

My qtn is do we need to have the spouse's name on DS 2019?

In my case while applying for DS 2019, i mentioned only my name. I did not fill out the J2 dependants page .

Thanks
 
Hi mlestep3
I am on doing residency on J1 visa , I recently got married and my wife has come with me on B1 visa, can I apply for changing her status to J2 without going back to my country.
Where should I apply?
Will she be able to get EAD after getting J2.

Please help.

Hello Shivan Im in the same situation, my wife is here. do u recommend her to go back and get the visa stamp or just change status. there is no hurry for working. she is here as B1. can she change status to J 2?
