J-1 to F-1 re-entered2004-02-27 07:37:51

Try to get things to be clear...

A J-1 holder whose research project was over, left the us before the end of the grace period;

One month later then, he re-entered the us using the two-entry visa;

Another 5 months passed till now, he got an offer for master student.

Question:

1. How long you think he was illegal?
2. Can he transfer from J-1 to F-1 in the us or a third country?
3. Can he transfer from J-1 scholar to J-1 student in the us?
4. What chance he could get a F-1 visa if he go back to china?

Thanks a lot.

没看懂。第一次离开I66过期了吗？第二次进来是同一张

回复：没看懂。第一次离开I66过期了吗？第二次进来是同一张

如果你的I94是D/S，那你从来没有out of statu

如果没有waiver，那还得出国签，不管是F1还是J1学生

回复：J-1 to F-1
