Folks,

Needed input on this from as many sources as possible.

I am currently on an H-1 visa with about 9 months remaining overall. I plan to start MBA come Fall and I shall be applying for my COS in June. At the same time, I shall be marrying and getting my spouse over in May on an H4. Hence the COS application in June will convert her H4 to an F2 as well.

If my spouse then intends to work and starts applying for jobs, how much time would she have if she applies and gets an H1. Would she get only 6 months (since her original H4 is tied to my H1), or will she get her H1 for 6 years (given that she would be in the process of gettting converted to F2 through the COS).

Any & every input is dearly appreciated.

Cheers. (Lost the last 2 days of sleep over this)
