I am a UK scientist and have just accepted a job as a post-doctoral researcher at the Cancer Research
Center of Hawaii. I hope to head to the US on a J-1 visa.

I wanted some advice about applying for a visa for my wife, she intends to travel on a J-2 visa.

My wife is currently employed in the UK as a manager/copy editor for an British online news agency . She works online from home and plans to continue working in the same job,
working online from our new home, once we move to the US. As such she will remain a UK tax payer and be paid into a UK bank account. There are no US based clients for the agency.

Will she need any sort of special visa or work permit or will the J-2 visa suffice?
