I am in US on J1 visa and my wife came with me on J2 visa. After coming to US, she also got postdoc position and decided to convert her visa category from J2 to J1. The sponsor agreed to this and issued Ds-2019 and asked to go back to India for J1 visa application within 6 months of entry to US.
Does it mean that if one stays for more than six months in US, they can not change their J visa category ? I would like to clear that both of us are subjected to 2 years home residency rule because of our technical qualification.
Anyway but the problem does not end here.........as we thought that there will be no problem in getting J1 visa this time as both of us had already gone through administrative processing (TAL) just 3 months back, when We came to US......but during my wife's J1 visa interview, she was given yellow slip and asked to submit technical qualification questionnaire and ........when she said that I have already gone through security check few months back, visa officer said, it was for j2 visa but this time it will be for j1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't understand the logic.........but can not do anything but to wait for the mail from US consulate.

pls help.
Does your J2 visa has two year residency restriction after completion of your tenure on J visa. If not then you can apply for J1. Are you still in US, if yes then you need to extend your J2as well in order to stay legally in US.
