Hi Im from Panama, I used to have J1 visa, I did all the paper to get a student visa, so now i am waiting for my F1 to be aproved.
My visa expired Jan 3, 2012 but i still have a 13 month so feb 2, 2012 it is when my visa legally expires, but because im waiting for my change status i still legal right.
Now my question is, What happen if I decide to go back to Panama while I am waiting for this visa?
Am i going to be in bad term with USA? And they never going to let me come back again?
Another question is the case is I wait here till they answer me, and they denied me the visa, How long do I have to leave the country?
Thanks so much
