I am currently on J1 visa in US and have applied for waiver already and hope to get it in October 2009. I want to visit India in Nov. Is there any risk to go to India while process of waiver or change of visa status is going on? If I apply after coming back from India in Dec, how much time will they take to process my F1 visa? Will it be done within a month? Is there any premium processing of F1 visa available(like for H1)?|||If you are granted a change of status to
F-1, it is valid only while you remain in the U.S. If you depart after that you would have to obtain a visa to return.
If you are continuing to maintain J-1 status and have a valid visa you could depart and return in that status and
apply for change of status after your return. This might take
2-3 months and might not be accomplished in time to
enroll for the spring term. There is no premium processing
except for employment based petitions.
