My husband and I are both Canadian citizens and he has been offered a job to work in the U.S. at a university starting October 1, 2005 which will
go towards his PhD which begins in September 2006.
As he is working for a year at the lab, his boss has told him that he will
be eligible for a J1 visa and will then switch to a F1 visa when he begins
his PhD next September. I have a few questions I hope someone can help me
answer:
1. As his spouse, I assume I will be eligible for the F2 visa - if so, will I be able to take up employment in the United States?
2. When my husband has a J1 visa, will I be able to work with a J2 visa?
I've done a fair of research but the sites are telling me different things and it's very confusing. I've been to the US Consulate website, the Immigration website so I hope someone can help me.
Many thanks!
