Thank your patience in advance,

I am in US with my F-1 visa and my I-20 expires on 31 August, 2005. My wife is also in US wiht her independent F-1 visa and her I-20 expired on 6 May, so she can stay in US by 4 July (because she can stay 60 days after termination of sevis).

I am trying to change her visa status to my Dependent Visa (F-2) without going outside US and then apply to OPT for the job. So I am filling the Form I-539 and send them tomorrow to vermont service center.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible to change to F-2 even though her sevis status is expired?
2. While she is pending for change and her stay (July 4) is expired, will it make any problem?
3. To stay together with my wife on My OPT, should she be registered as my dependent before I apply to OPT?

Thanks
 
Another Questions~

4. Is there any premium(quick) Service with more fees?
5. Is it risky to change her status in this situation?

Thank you again
 
What is the answer of your questions?

I have the exact problem with the second question of yours. My wife's F1 will expire while her application to change of status is pending. Will she be out-of-status then?

Please reply.

Thanks
 
Just want to add one more thing, she already finished her OPT and then got admitted again for keeping the status. She can not get any more OPT now.
