I am a J1 visa holder and my wife (on J2) is pregnant. We both have medical insurance and she has been visiting her OB-GYN regularly as well. The issue is that both of our visas expire 3 months before her due date. I do not plan on extending my stay or applying for change of status because I have a job waiting for me back home but we want her to stay (legally offcourse) in US, deliver the baby and come back. This is solely because of better quality medical care here and risks associated with flying during pregnancy.
1)Can someone please help me what are my options?
2)Can she apply for change of status to B1/B2? or apply to have her J2 extended on medical grounds?
We both have visited US a number of times in past, have had multiple B1/B2 visas, never overstayed (nor plan on doing so). Also have medical insurance (till her delivery date) and enough cash (for costs). I would appreciate any help/guidance I can get. Thanks!
