Can I Convert my J1 to H1-B or Student Visa?

[naved424]

I've been in the US for last few months on J1 visa. I would like to convert it into H1-B or Student Visa. Is it possible?

TIA.

Do you have 2 year HRR?

You have no special priviledge of conversion from J1 to another status. Follow the normal process.

I was on a J-1 with 2YHRR then moved on F-1 and then on H-1B. The first should be possible, just follow the steps needed to get to that status, the second is, I believe not possible anymore. My lawyer used a hole in the law at that time and somehow made it possible.
Good luck.
