Hi,
I am currently on H1B with 21 months remaining and extension is in progress. My wife is on J1 without 2 years residency requirement. Her visa is valid for 4 more years. I am thinking about changing my visa status to J2 and get EAD. I have few questions. Can someone help me answering these please
1.Can I change my status to J2 for couple of years, work on EAD and ask employer to start GC process?
2. once the GC process is started can I revert to H1B and use the remaining period?
3. should I revert to H1 as soon as the GC process is started or any particular stage?
4.would there be any problem when I revert to H1B from J2 and can it be done from US?
