My H1B petition is approved but when I applied my wife was not in USA. She came on F2 after I applied. So she is still on F2 period. I got my approval 20 days before and just today I received originals. Vermont service center takes approx 12 to 15 months for I-539 petition (F2 to H4). So should I send my wife to India now and go for stamping together?
I have some doubts on this process.
-
Does my wife considered as Out Of Status?
-
If she is out of status, till how many days can she live in the US before I have to send her back to India?
-
If I apply for Change of status can she travel to India on that time frame?
-
Can she alone go for Stamping without me and come back to states?
-
Does it really take 12 to 15 months as it mentioned on the USICS websites?
-
What will be best solution in this case? That is safe and convenient?
