J1 visa to H4 visa
Dear All
I have a PhD. degree from India. Currently, I am living with my husband (who is on F-1) in CA, USA. I was looking for postdoc positions and recently i have received a postdoc offer from a university in North Dakota. The university is offering me to change my visa status from F-2 to J-1. However, I have some queries related to J1 visa status:
1. Once J1 is sponsored by a university, is there a possibility to remain on same status even if i change university?
2. What is the possibility of changing J1 visa to H4 visa (since my husband's visa status will change to H1 this year).
Kindly post your reply as early as possible as i have to accept the offer within a week.
An expert advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sadhana
