我老公TN被LAID OFF, experation date is until May 2012,
我的身份F-1, 他需要转为F-2吗?
-Yes, he had better do that if he think he can not find a job shortly.
我查了你以前对别人的提问,你说这种情况不转身份, he is still legal to stay in USA until 2012?
-Yes, he can legally stay, but he is out of status after he lost his job. If he is out of status for > 180 days, he can not be qualified to get I-485 approval and it is difficult for him to change his status back also. But if he is just out of status for one or two months, he may be OK because he is still lawfully present before his I-94 expires.
Anyway, for safe reason, he had better change his status to F2.
