Hi there!

I am in the US in an Aupair Program (J-1). I am in the 1st year of my aupair program which will expire on February 2008. The program can be extended up to 2 years.

However, I wish to apply for a change of status to "F-1" for a full time of study at the local community college and gradually move to a university.
I also have family friends (LPR) who is willing to sponsor me.

My goal is to start from Jaunary of 2008 and I am currently in a process of submitting my paperworks to International Advisor.

Since I am new to all these, there are perhaps many DOs and don'ts that I am not aware of. Any guidence or advice (such as time frame, things to avoid etc) that you could provide is greatly appreciated.

regards,
J12F1
