J2 visa application from UK?

Hi all,

I've tried using the search function for my query but I can't seem to find the answer, but I do apologise if this has already been posted.

My wife has been offered a fellowship in Pasadena which qualifies her for a J1 visa and NIE. It is a short exchange of 4 months. I am hoping to join as her J2 dependant.

We have enough savings to cover us for the whole period, and I will not be looking for work whilst I am out there. However, I will potentially be using an extended period of annual leave from my job in the UK whilst still maintaining my employment there (but not doing any work for them or my job whilst out there). I plan to return to the UK for a period to continue working before rejoining my wife at the end and using more annual leave. My questions are:

1.) Does me using annual leave to accompany my wife (maintaining my UK contract and the salary payments that come with that) count as "working" in the US, even though I will not be performing my job whilst out there?

2.) am I right in thinking I can return to my job in the UK midway through my J2 visa period to work, and then come back out to the US using my annual leave?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
