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.
Measuring the Room. To determine the cost of your room of carpet, measure the width and length of the room in yards. Then, add 20 percent to the figure to allow for uncommon cutouts, such as closets or doorways. Carpet is sold in individual square panels, by the square yard or by the square foot. Rolls of carpet come in widths of 12, 13 or 15 feet. If your room is wider than the width of one roll, your carpet will have a seam, which may cost extra if you choose to have the flooring installed by professionals.
