I've heard or read somewhere

that the visa withiout permanent residency intent will expire

once the GC application is filed. because the intent is changed.

Is it true?

I have heard that H1b is dual intent one ,so it's OK.

but J1(or F1 ) will expire ?

If it expires I , should quit the current intern job?

I just filed the AOS and checks are cashed out today.

Hope anyone can help me.

Hi

I was in that case. Your J1 does not expire once you apply for AOS. You can keep on working until the end of your J1. When you apply for AOS, apply for a workpermit as well. If you're lucky you'll get the work permit before the end of your J1 and you can keep on working after the end of your J1. If there is a gap between the end of your J1 and getting the work permit (that's my caes) you are just not allowed to work for a while.

If you have a foreign residency requirement attached to your J1 visa then you can not adjust status. Do not know if you do just bringing it up.

From the AOS instructions.

You are or were a J-1 or J-2 exchange visitor and aresubject to the two-year foreign residence requirement andyou have not complied with or been granted a waiver ofthe requirement;

I had a classmate who was on a J1 visa and married a US citizen and she had to go back to Mexico for two years before she could come back to the US as a perm resident.

Thank you for comments guys.

>To Caroline

That's great! I applyed for I765 and I131 as well

so All I have to do is wishing EAD come within 4 months before my j1 expires.

>TO damulag

Fortunately My visa stamp says that

I am NOT subject to 2 year home residency requirement.

but thanks for concern .
