J1 transfer遇到非常奇怪的難題,請指教

我是J1身份,還有1年期限,現與原老板合同到期,又收到同一大學中另外一個係的老板提供的Offer,現在international education office辦換IAP66時,辦事人員提出如下:The Department of State does not allow a 'change of objective' in your program. You would have to be continuing your research in the same subject/field and this is not a continuation in your program. Due to Federal Regulations mandated by the Department of State - I was unable to make the transfer/extension for you.
但事實是盡管本人換了係但都是研究環境的,屬同一範圍.而且此前從未聽說有J1 Holder在轉校或轉工作時遇到此類問題.現向大家請教:我能在哪裏找到這類相關的規定去argue.謝謝
