I am J2 (2HRR) visa holder and working on EAD at a University as a post-doc fellow. EAD is valid till Oct'08. (date shown on my husband's and my DS-2019)
He has applied for his J-1 waiver(2HRR) and has sent papers to home country just for my sake for me to complete my course. He has taken a case number from USCIS as well.
My questions are-
a. Is it possible for me to change my status to J-1 or H-1 without his waiver. (which is unlikely I know) coz I want to finish my program even if he leaves.
Is it possible to get F-1 from the university while still having the 2HRR.
b. Can we extend our J-1 (DS-2019) to buy some more time? (is it allowed to extend J-1 when waiver procedure is going on..coz we have just started the procedure & have only taken a case No. but nothing else..paper work back in India is going on)
c. If he gets his waiver in time, how do I change my status to H-1 or F-1 or my J-1.
Can I adjust my status here in the US or have to go back to India to get the visa stamped.
He wants to leave the US soon for his training in Australia. Can he come back to the US after the waiver on a visitor visa (B-2) to visit me.
Experts I'll really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
