@samikshya:
These are all my suggestions. (It depends on how far is your husband from getting GC)
Since, you already applied for F-1:
Plan A. Lets wait until its get approval. Remember,F-1 Nepalese student can show proof for economic hardships and be qualified for reduce course load, work more than 20 hours and all (Need to read those valid documents for economic hardship). So, you can continue as F-1 and graduate and apply for OPT EAD and GC. And, I guess you can come back to F-2 status anytime in future (Need full confirmation though if F-1 can go back to F-2). Most of the college provides instate tuition fee if you work 20 hrs on campus in specific field. (Ex. Tutor, working in Lab, Working in library and so on). Research on that university where you can find on campus job and provides instate tuition fee.
Plan B. Apply TPS and EAD. Once TPS gets approved, remember your F-2 status is terminated. ( I am 90% sure on this rumor but still need a full confirmation). TPS is likely to extend for another 18 months as history explains. So, you are safe until June, 2018 ( I am extending another 18 months of TPS, being positive here). During that time, if you husband can get job, H1b and file GC (i,e, he will be filing I-485 by that period). Now, you can adjust the status from USA.
If not, you will need to graduate by that time, find a job, apply for H1B , visit Nepal and come back on H1B visa. OR, once TPS ends, you need to leave the country and apply visa with US consulate whichever you qualified for and enter USA.
If I were you, I would apply TPS and receive all the benefits since you have somebody to take care for in US. If your husband gets H1B anytime in future, you can always visit nepal and come back as dependent (H-4) since approval rate for H1b dependents is high in our country.
Again, these are my suggestions and you can have your own.
Good luck !!!
