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!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
