Hello Friends,

I have a question regarding waiver on J2 EAD.
My husband is doing residency on J1 since last 9 months. His residency program is of 4years and plans to do 1 yr fellowship later on on J1 so total of 5 yrs
I m now on J2 and have an EAD with me.
My questions are:

1. Do I need to do a waiver job after I complete my residency on EAD before joining any other hospital here in the US? or it just applies to my husband(on J1) to do a waiver.

2. If aftercompleting my residency on EAD, if my husband gets a waiver he will be on H1 and me on H4and if the same year I get H1 fellowship program for 1 yr, can I change my status from J2 EAD to H1 without doing a waiver?

3. How much time it normally takes to renew your EAD?

Thank you.
Regards,
Kindly reply as soon as possible.
 
From my understanding, the 2HR applies to both J1 and J2 holder. If this is true, then you are also subject to the same rule which prohibits you from changing your status to H/L/K visa.
Your husband (the J1 holder) needs to apply for the waiver, and the waiver will work for both of you.
The waiver can be applied anytime after you have started the J1 program. You do not need to wait until the end of the program.
