waiver for J2 if J1 finished the two years

[lillyg]

Would it be possible for J2 to apply for a waiver? My husband finished the two years requirement but I was in the US finishing my PhD. USCIS stated he cannot apply for a waiver since he already finished the two years. Do you know if there are any options to handle this case?
