Hi, i have 2 questions and i will really appreciate if you can provide some help in this regard.
1. Im on a J-1 Visa with 2 years residency requirement and my visa will expire on 31st Aug, 10. I just checked this link http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/tem...types_4514.htm and it says that countries whoz names are not mentioned on this list don't need to go back to there countries for 2 years. Im from Pakistan and my country name is not mentioned on this list. Does that mean that the 2 years residency requirement on my visa is not applicable anymore?
2. Im looking to change my status from J-1 to F-1. Can i do it in US without the need to go back to my country? If u think its possible then what u think will be the ideal time to do as im not sure about the processing time.
Looking forward for your feedback.
Thanks
