i dont know if you are fully aware of the H1B visa rules, reading your post makes me think you arent.

if you are on an H1B visa, your spouse can be on an H4 visa, not H2 visa (H2 is a visa for manual laborers to work in farms during harvest time).

spouse would not be able to work on an H4 visa (unless your employer sponsors your green card application and it clears a certain stage of the process, which usually takes a year or more).

currently H1B visas are quite hard to get, even for those who went to grad school in the US, despite them having special quotas. there are simply too many qualified people applying and not enough visas and its a crazy lottery system. J1 might be your only option.

i dont know much about J1 visas, but you really need to talk to someone who understands these things before you even start talking about money, housing etc.

thanks for your post. Yes, you are right, H1 is not easy. I assume if they decide to choose me theyl give me J1 visa. but thaz what I think.
