Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia
J1 to H4
I am currently on my H1 visa. My wife started working as a teacher last year and is on J1. She has quite her job & we need to transfer her visa to H4 as she not planning to work anymore. The process to do so looks quite cumbersome for J1 to H1. Would it be the same for J1 to H4? Is there a simpler way to do it as she no longer wishes to work?

Re: J1 to H4
Is she subject to home country residence requirement because of her J-1? Otherwise, it should be possible to change her status from the U.S. without too many problems.
She would have to file an application to change status with supporting documentation.
