Just got my H1B approval after RFE. Currently on J1 and she’s on J2 (no residency requirement). She is pregnant and can’t fly. Any chance her H4 can be done via change of status?

Apply for H4 based on your status, it might take some time.
When’s J2 expiring ?

Yes file COS from J2 to H4.. actual approval takes time but can stay in the country as soon as case is filed and you receive a receipt notice.. good luck 😊

Hello Fishes, its really strange to ask but I have no option left.
I have almost 2 years of gap in my career due to medical issues, but not its recovered and I am trying to rejoin again. I applied to so many places but has been seeing only rejections either due to gap and either due to my over qualification.
I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
