I-130 approved for beneficiary, chances of getting J2

[letmein 0]

Adult beneficiary of I-130 gets married, his wife gets medical residency training in the US, will she have any trouble getting J1 approved and getting J1 visa from US embassy in Pakistan?

 

Please note that when I-130 was applies for her husband, he was not married. She was never added to the I-130 application.

 

On the flip side, if she does get J1 visa, does the husband qualify to receive J2 visa in this case or does he have to overcome the immigrant intent shown by the approved I-130.

 

Does it matter if his marital status was never updated on the I-130 application after it was approved? Trying to explore the probabilities of getting J1 for said spouse and J2 for primary beneficary of approved I-130.

Is this the sibling you're also inquiring about the F4 wait time for?

Changes would depend on educational background,  money to afford the stay in US as J1 limits work to part time however you need to show monies to support your stay as the following applies:

 

Additional note: Health care for spouse and any children will be expensive in the US

 

Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of nationality, are entitled to J-2 classification. Your spouse and children are entitled to employment authorization; however, their income may not be used to support you.

who is the sponsor?

Do I need a sponsor? Yes. The State Department designates U.S. government, academic and private sector entities to conduct educational and cultural exchange programs. To participate in the Exchange Visitor Program, foreign nationals must be sponsored by one of the State Department-designated sponsors.

 

this is a nonimmigrant visa with a 30 day grace period to depart the US after the program ends

 

Also look up post from 2018 Pakistan for Pices1990 as that J2 was denied  (here in VJ)

and CO can deny any petition at any time especially when there is "intent to adjust and stay in US" as your spouse has with the F4 visa intent

No. It's for another scenario.
