Thanks a lot you guys for all information. One more question- my DS form expires 31 Aug 2008 where as my visa expires on 30 Sep 2008. So can I stay in US till 30 Sep 2008 and utilize that month for changing status.....
Thanks skvadivel!! Well rkottani your situation is very much similar to mine. I agree purely on that basis (j-1 visa) they dont reject it. Well I'm applying in EB1-OR category and It's current for India. Yes my plan is to use EAD after Aug 2008 (when my J-1 expires) and hopefully before that...
Thanks a lot skvadivel. May I know when shall I apply for H1b? I think I'll wait till last few months before I change to H1b. My wife will also apply for H1 (cap) next year. If my 1-140 and I-485 is pending (after J-1 expires) can we stay and work in US based on EAD and AP.
Please reply and...
Unfortunately that's not a great news for me as I've paid all fees to the lawyer. I can't right away switch to H1 as my wife wont be abe to work on H-4. Please suggest if there is some other possibility....

Can I change from J1 to H1b while my GC is under process. I mean I want to apply for GC while I'm on J1 but can I change to H1b later on if my J1 is going to expire and decision abt GC is not taken.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your kind reply!! I understand that to be on H1 is safe but I can't take H1 now as my wife is on J2 and she is working in a profit organization. So if i change to H1 now then she won't be able to work.
Her company can't sponsor H1 until next year.
That's why i'm thinking of...
Thanks a lot jk0274!!
I sincerely appreciate your help. I've already received my waiver. May i know if God forbid my EB1 application gets rejected than will it affect my status adjustment from J-1 to H1. Also can I file both EB1 and EB2 together.
Thanks once again

Hi Friends
I desperately need your suggestion on this. Actually presently I'm on J-1 and my University employer agreed on sponsoring my GC (EB1 category). My concern is that my J-1 will expire on 31 Aug 2008. May I know if that much of time good enough to get GC in EB1 category. Also may I know...
