E3 to H4

Question details

I am in the US from Australia and just lost my job as an Engineer. I was on an E3. My wife has an H1B and is employed. Since E3 restrictions give about 10 days grace period, our immediate option is for me to go to an H4. Does anyone know how long this process usually takes if I am currently in the US and what I may have to do.

ANSWER

Just go to Canada or Mexico and get your H-4 stamping and come back. That should work.
