    Default Can You Apply for a J1 Extension While In the U.S.

    Hi, I m Swiss and on j1 scholar visa in the US. This visa expires end of october. I already have my new DS2019 for a new j1 visa for another 2 years. I have to travel to thailand in december for a conference and want to come back to the US afterwards, which seems obviously difficult because I would have needed to extend the visa beforehand. I heared that I can extend the J1 visa only OUTSIDE of the US. Is that true? How can I apply for an extension before going to Thailand?

    Are you actually talking about extension, or are you talking about getting your visa stamped?

    well, i need a new paper glued into my passport which says VISA on it, I m not sure if this is called 'new stamp' or visa extension. I think its this what one would typically get in an american embassy after an interview etc.

    Thanks!
