    Hi,

    I'm currently on an exchange program in New York with a J1 Intern visa that will expire at the end of November.
    My current program length is a little bit less than 6 months.

    At the end of my program I would like to come back to my home country (France) for a month and then my host company and I would like to extend my program.

    So I was wondering if I can do that, and I also would like to know I can make start the second part of my program on January (so more than one month after the end of my current program) and not just after the end of my current program.

    I would also know how can I do that ?
    Can I wait until I'm back in France to fill all the paperwork ?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Would you try to apply for the Employment-based Visa? We have a post on this in teh FAQ sections: How to immigrate to the USA using an employment-based Visa

    Also helpful, we recently posted a series of articles on obtaining visas. Here is Obtaining a Visa to Live, Study and Work in: the United States of America.

    Hopefully this information is helpful. Does this answer your questions? And does anyone have experience/tips to share?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your quick answer!

    Unfortunately I can't apply for a work visa yet as applications start on April 1st. But I'm planning to do it and then I would be able to work with this visa on October 1st.

    My main concern is that, my current program started at the end of May 12.

    If I renew my second part starts directly after my first part then it will expires at the end of May 13 as the max length is 1 year. So between june and october I won't be allowed to work in the United States.

    So I was thinking about postponing a little bit the beginning of my second part of my program to February 1st and then I'll be able to work until mid-september.

    Is it possible ? If so how can I do that ?

    I got my visa through a french company (Parenthese) which makes the link with the sponsor, they told me that my extension starts at the end of my current program but I'm not sure about their answer... What happens if I let my current visa expires and I will renew it when I'll be back in France?

    Thanks a lot!

    I'm also wondering if there is a possibility to switch from an Intern status to a Trainee status ?
    Thanks!
