You cannot adjust your status from a J visa to any other status while still in the USA. You must first return to your country of origin and then apply for another visa. Also, if you are in the USA with a J1 visa program that is paid for by any govermental program you must return to your country of origin for a minimum of two(2) years before applying to return to the USA.As soon as you are no longer in the program you are " out of status" and must leave the USA immediately or be deported.

they have some different laws, so you might not want to do that. You would probably have to be retrained in their law system.

IF you are a resident of Japan , which seems to be your case, YES you can apply there but beware that it may be more difficult to obtain your visa there... It is very common that a visa officer denies an application because he is not familiar with the conditions in your country of origin ,hence, he is not able to make a decision in your case...\n\nIt depends a lot on what citizenship you hold...

interesting... how can your visa be cancelled while you are still in the US ? What did you do ? this is quite unusual...are you sure you didn't overstay?\n\nI'm assuming you are talking about a tourist visa... the purpose of the visa is for you to come as a tourist ! you must go back once your status expire...\n\nif you want to live and work legally you must explore legal avenues... if you stay you'll become an illegal alien ...\n\nIf you have no career aspirations and want to be a janitor, constructor etc... then you'll have no problem living in the US as an illegal but I can't imagine anybody wanting to be a janitor all his life... as a professional you'll never be able to get a job if you are an illegal alien

Britain has the visa waiver program for entries less than 3 months! If you stay longer, you will need to get one !!

where are you know ? if you are already in Canada just stay there and don't worry about thing... if you are outside then you must wait until your sponsorship papers get processed... once you filled an immigration petition you can't really use a tourist visa anymore...

since you say "continue" i assume you are already here with a student visa? you have to get admission into another program or college and then get your I-20 from that place. and if your visa is near expiry you could renew that too, but most imp is the I 20.

go to www.USCIS.gov and ask there, you 'may' have to re-apply\n(only just got mine)

Yes.  If the applicant has an approved waiver for a refusal for fraud from one category of immigrant visa, that waiver can be used to successfully apply for an immigrant visa in a different category.

Talk to your University administration, they might have a student visa program.

It depends on your nationality, if you are a visa national, than it is not possible, if you are not visa national you can leave the country and re-enter as a student, and show to immigration officer, your acceptance into a dfes recognised educational institute.

I think you should call the US Consulate that issued the M-1 visa to you.

Yes, you can change your ticket to stay for the entire period granted.\n\nYou can also apply for a visa extension, which, if granted, gives you a permission to visit for longer than 5 months.  However, be sure to only apply after the third month, but before the visa expires.\n\nWhatever you do, make sure to NOT OVERSTAY your visa (either the 5 months, or if extended, beyond the new expiry date), as doing so can result in your not allowing to re-enter US for TEN YEARS.

It depends on the company whether it is going to cancel your B1 visa if you resign or not. My advice First Look at the company which can offer you the job and apply for the Transfer through that company than you can pass out. If already resigned the INS will give you a month time for your reply..

Well you didn't say for what purpose... J-1 visas can be used for a multitude of reasons... the most common are a high school exchange programs, university research and temporary univ. studies (6-12 months programs) also medical doctors commonly use it... the requirements for each of these situations vary quite a bit... \n\nAt any rate I can't think of any reason to use a lawyer to obtain this visa but to obtain a J-1 visas you need to go through an approved program, hence, you can't just walk in and say you want a J-1 visa...the program provides you with a specific form which you take with you at the embassy\n \n\nIt's hard to speculate since I don't know what you intend to do in the US, so let me know and I'll elaborate

This is my best guess, not guarantees:\n214(B) does not apply to a L Visa.  The L visa allows for dual intent and hence it is reasonable that you might eventually petition to live permanently in the United States.  However, if you were denied a B1/B2 there was probably a good reason.  The Consular Officer will consider the circumstances that lead to the initial denial in your upcoming interview.  Please ask a more detailed question explaining why you were denied under 214(b).
