I am a physician. I entered on B2 visa in May 2009, I got entry for six months. my visitor visa expired in June 2009. then in Oct 2009 I applied for extension of stay for five months. My current I-94(attached with I-797) is going to expire on April 30, 2010. I will get DS-2019 for residency in April 2010 and want to change my status to J-1. My questions are,
1- Start date on DS-2019 will be July 1st which is 2 month ahead of expiry of my I-94. so if i apply for change of status before the expiration of I-94, what will be my status after expiration of my I-94?
2- I know the processing time for change of status is 2.5 months but If they approve my change of status application before July 1st which is start date on Ds-2019(lets for example if they send me approval in June 2010), what will be my status till July 1st as my current I-94 is expiring on April 30?
