....I have been offered a J-1 position at a hospital and am already here in the states on a visitors visa...before getting the offer from the hospital I had applied for change of status to F-1 Student. My question.....I have heard that you can get the visa "adjusted" to J-1 by just staying in the country....is this true, and is it safe, I've also heard that it might take a long time and you may lose the position if it takes too long.....and finally I've been told that going to my home country could also be a bad move as sometimes you don't come back!!? Oh and my home country is Inida....I'm really upset about this whole mess and just need some advice.....thanks. :cry:
IT TAKES A LONG, LONG, LOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME.
Just went through this with a young woman who didn't want to go back to India to get her visa. She applied in April. She started working on November 1.
We held on - barely - another 15 days and we would have hired someone else.
