    Default Re: Any Disadvantages when I Changed My Status F1 to F2

    Companies do not hand out green cards. Are you saying they are going to sponsor you for a H1-B visa? Processing time is 2-6 months. Whether you hold an F-1 or F-2 doesn't matter to that.

    If you are no longer in the program for which your F-1 is issued, you'll be out of status. An F-2 will help that if your wife is still enrolled.
