H1B-F2 based on wife's I-539 case receipt - URGENT
I am on H1-B visa right now and my wife is on H4.
She filed for Change of Status to F1 and the got the receipt for I-539 from USCIS on October 5th 2016.
I am being laid-off by the end of this week (Oct 28, 2016).
1)How will it affect my wife's chances of getting her F-1 visa, because her current H4 will become invalid starting Oct 29, 2016.
2) Can I apply for F-2 visa based on my wife's USCIS case receipt next week to avoid going to out of status? If Yes, how easy is it to move back from F2 to H1B?
3) Do I have to wait for F2 to be approved to move back to H1B? Will it be cap exempt as the current H1B went through lottery process?
Thanks for your time!
