Problem with i-485 for J 1 visa extension

[Babar 0]

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the the i-485 "current status" and "expires on" boxes:

I am a visa J1 holder. I extended my visa in Februray. My status will expire in June 2013 (based on my new DS-2019).

HOWEVER, on my visa, it is mentioned that it expires in February 2013 (based on the first DS - 2019)

1) Should I write J 1 visa holder or J 1 extension visa holder ?

2) Should I stipulate the date on my DS-2019 or the date on my visa ?

Thank you !

1) Simply "J-1".

2) The new date, since your extension was granted.

2) Should I stipulate the date on my DS-2019 or the date on my visa ?

Neither. It should be the date on your I-94, which is likely "D/S".

You guys have 2 different answers.

so, should I just write "D/S" as it is what's on my i-94? Or the date referring to my DS-2019 which is June 2013?

I was mistaken for #2 (too much drinking or not enough).

You should enter "D/S".
