Hello,
I am currently on J-1 visa status, and I would like to get F-1 status after my training program ends. The classes at the college I am going to apply start at the end of January 2010. My current J-1 training will end on 2nd of October 2009. There are about 3 months gap between two status. Will it be a problem? Can I stay during this period in US legally. I am not subject to the two year foreign residency requirement. Thank you in advance.
