F2 to H4 (Wife On F2 visa currently Out of Status for a week) Help!

[Daniel Samson]

Hi ,

My name is Daniel. I was on a F1 Visa, was working during my opt period. My wife on F2 visa moved to United States on Aug. 30 2015. I got H1B approval notice 1 week ago. So now I'm on H1B and my wife is out of status(because she's not F2 anymore because I'm on H1B). Is there any other way, other than asking her to travel back and attend H4 Visa interview and return. Because this is a huge trouble and financially difficult.

At this moment, she's out of status for about a week now. Will this be a major issue which will reduce the chances of getting her H4 Visa approved. I'm hoping you guys could help regarding my situation.

Thank you.

Daniel.

Unfortunately there is no other option now since she is already out of status. You should have filed her COS from F2 to H4 when you filed your F1 to H1B COS. There won't be much impact if the out of status period is less. Advisable to act on it asap.

Thanks for responding. Have a great weekend.
