Who knows your wife will get an odd job or little here and there job? who knows maybe your wife can get a kickarse job that makes 2 times her salary, its possible if she goes to indian IT consultancy... they just renewed the Tps for Haiti yesterday, so it's already 5 + years.. are you planning on being a f1 for 5 more years, maybe 7 maybe 10 for Nepal too? why did you ask the IPO in the first place, they don't know shyt about TPS.. she probably asked avoo and websites on the web and got various conflicting answers...
