Visas to Third Country Nationals (TCN)

Home country is the safest place in current situation - I have no personal experience though. Also, visa stamp is not necessary if you have no plans to leave and re-enter the US. You are legal if you have J-2 approval (approval letter of I-539) from the INS.

Best wishes,

Here is my experience

I have changed from H1 to F1 in the past. I did it in Canada a few years ago with no problem. However, I am not sure if changing from anything to J* would be the same.
