    Default J1 to Student Visa

    Hi, My Au Pair is in NY on a J-1 Visa which expires on August 2013. However, the au pair program says she can only be extended for 2 years. She would like to stay for 4 years as an Au Pair or change her status to F-1, as a fulltime 4-year college student. Can she actually stay for as long as her J-1 visa is valid or should she change to an F-1 student visa? If so, does she need to travel back to her home country before INS changes her status or can she stay in the US? Thank you.

    If she has no sponsoring organization for her J1, she's going to go out of status. She should be able to adjust her status from J1 to F1. Are you planning on sponsoring her, and maintaining her as a member of your household?

    Yes, if she adjusts her status to F1, then I will sponsor her and maintain her as a member of my household.
