Hi,

I'm looking for information for a friend of mine. She came in the US with the Fullbright program under a J1. Her boyfriend came with the same program, but a year later. In case they get married here, is she able to switch to J2 (considering she will be the spouse of the J1 holder) and extend her stay in the US?

She also has a 2-years home residence requirement, so she would need to apply to the waiver.

Thanks a lot
