 i believe that i'm not being subject to two year home rule 212e but they subjected me on my passport visa page while i'm not being fund by any govt or institute and not my country name is on skills list and i've already send my J1 advisory opinion package to DoS and status was updated last on 21 november so how long it could take more because it's been 30 days already while there maximum time is 4-6 weeks and also could you tell me after not being fund by any inst. or govt and nor on skills list would they clear my 2 year rule ?
thanks

I don't under your question. 

 

It is better to apply for change status before your J1 expires. You do not want to wait until after because if something goes wrong, you can end with a ban to enter the US.

Have everything ready to go and mail it when you get the advisory opinion. But send a photocopy, do not send the original because you need to keep a copy!

 

Send the mail for AOS with tracking number.
