Au pair came to US on J1 Exchange Visa. My I-94 says its valid until D/S. My J1 visa itself (in my passport) says valid until September 2017. I do not have the 2 year residency requirement.
After 3 months, my host family in Los Angeles fired me and my last day of work was December 13. My sponsor company is giving me 2 weeks (3 days left) to find another host family, but there are no families available in LA. I want to stay in LA, so it seems like the only way I can do that is to change status. I do have a valid B1/B2 visa which expires in 5 years, from when I traveled to US 5 years ago. Am I able to change status to B2 while staying in United States with I-539 form? What is recommended?
Thanks for your help!
