More details to this question:
Hello, I am on J1 visa & my husband on J2 visa. Our DS 2019 have been extended until May, 2020. My husband needs to travel internationally & therefore is going to get the new stamp from home country. I do not plan to travel past visa stamp expiry date. Can he (J2) apply for new stamp without me (j1) applying for the new stamp?
1 ANSWER
The J2 is dependent upon the status of the principal J-1 holder and is only able to apply for a work permit after arriving in the United States. He may remain in the United States as long as the principal J-1 Visa holder has valid J-1 status. I think that if he wants to apply for a new status, it will have to be as something other than J2 since that is bound to your J-1.
