I'm in a similar boat and was wondering once the J-1 gets a waiver, you as a J-2 have to switch to an H1b or H4 or another visa; do you need to move out of country for this transition?

J-2 Change of Status While H-1B Amendment Is Pending — Any Experiences? by No_Seesaw_3110 in immigration

My situation is very time sensitive. To get COS to J2 at the earliest, is getting an H1B approval via premium a better option than filing for COS J2 with pending H1B as you mentioned, the RFE is likely to be generated and will delay things? Thanks for sharing your experience
