Hi everyone,
I got my B-2 visa last year but never used it. This year I was granted scholarship by my own goverment and got J-1 visa with 2-year rule. Currently I'm in the USA on my J-1. My program ends by the end of the February, 2013 but I want to stay 3 months more.
I know that I cannot change my status since I am objected to 2-year rule but I already have a B-2 visa. Does it make a difference or is it also accepted as a change of status and not allowed?
Thank you in advance.
