J-1 Near Expiration, Wanting to Go on B2
Hi,
i am a New Zealand citizen, here in California on a 12month working j-1 visa. My visa expires in nearly 2months. I want to stay here and was thinking a b2 visa is the best way to go...what do i have to do? do i have to apply and then go to canada and re-enter. any info would be great thx
Re: J-1 Near Expiration, Wanting to Go on B2
Are you subject to the two year home-country residency requirement?
How long are you planning on staying under a B2 (or B1/B2)? What ties and resources can you demonstrate to your nation of origin that will demonstrate to the USCIS that you'll leave when your stay as a tourist is over, or that you can support yourself during your continued stay without working?
