My wife and I both have separate J1 Visas. But my wife program is a 2-year program and mine is a 5-year program. After she is done with her program can she switch to a J2 visa under my J1?

Also, does she needs to leave the country for this? Or can she stay in the US while we do all this process?



Thanks
 
She has to leave the country to apply for the J2 and get it on the passport. It should be the home country. You cannot change status within the U.S.
If you are using a J1 for studying at a university, you should ask the international advisors about your situation.
