Can J-2 dependents get work permission? J-2 dependents may apply to the USCIS for work permission as long as that work is not to provide financial support for the J-1. Processing by USCIS takes an average of 90 days. It is not necessary for a J-2 to show proof of special skills or a job offer to receive a work permit.
To determine how many square feet you need, measure the room(s) length by its width. Example: if you have a room that is 10' long by 10' wide you would multiply those numbers together, the amount of square footage = 100 sq. ft. Now, with wood flooring you must add a 5% waste factor for cutting and fitting waste and to cover a few boards that you may not want to use. Using the example above you would want to add 5% to your order which would mean that you would need a total of 105 sf.
1. Measure across the ceiling joists at a 90-degree angle. Ensure that the end of each strapping board lands on the center of a joist. Cut the first board, with a saw, to fit the measurement.Install the first strapping-board on the ceiling joists, next to the wall, across the joists.Nail the strapping board to each joist with two 10d nails with a hammer or pneumatic nail gun.. Measure along the length of an end joist that is adjacent to a wall, and make a mark at 14.75 inches. Drive a nail halfway into that joist at the mark. Hook the end of the tape measure to the nail and mark the joist every 16 inches along its length across the room.
