If you're still here legally, you can apply for an adjustment in status to F2. Otherwise it would behoove you to leave (especially before 6 months out of status) and work it out.
Marrying a permanent resident doesn't give you the same advantages that marrying a citizen would have.
thnks so much ,, is it easy to change status to F2 n can stay in US after i got F2 visa???
thnks again
You must maintain your own legal status. F2 is a dependent of an F1. If your wife has a green card, she cannot have F1 status to permit you to be on F2.
Remember also, that as the spouse of a green card holder, you can be denied entry to the US and a renewal of an F1 or B1/B2 visa if you leave since you have immigrant intent.
You should complete your studies and find an H1B sponsoring employer.
thanks a lot for the help.. really appreciate tat![]()
