My hu*****and's OPT (F1) will be ended on July 13. His university wanted him to work as a visiting scholar and applied for J1 visa for him, which will start on July 12. However, the I-797A notice we received last week says the valid date is from 06/13. So does that mean he has been in a J1 status?
-Yes. His status is J1 now, not F-1.
Is it possible to cancel this status and keep his F1 stutas until July 13?
-No.
Or does he need a J1 waiver if he has had a job offer?
-Yes if he wants to get the H1 status.
