    Can You Change from J-1 to J-2 Visa if You Have the 2 Year Home Residency Requirement
    My husband and I have both J1 visas, both with the 212(e) requirement (having to go back for 2 years to our home country when the J is over). Both our visas are still valid and my husband would like to change to a J-2 without having to leave the US.

    Not a chance.

    If somebody is in J1 status and is subject to the HRR, they can change status to J2 by leaving the country and reentering as J2, but cannot change status from within the U.S.
