Hi,

 

I am currently working on J1 and am waiting for NORI from India.

My husband is on H1b, my question is Can I be my husband's dependent on H4 in case the  waiver takes longer for the entire processing. In other words- Can I be my husband's dependent in the scenario of waiver getting delayed.

Looking forward to the reply

thanks in advance!

I doubt that. Without a waiver you cannot move to H4 status. Wait for other opinions.

As far as I know, you HAVE to get a J1 waiver before you can be converted to other visa type. Please get the waiver first. Please do not be in any hurry. Get your J1 waiver first.
