What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
Unfortunately my current J1 advisor is a monster and I want to change to another institute. I have already found a new sponsor and they are in process of sending me new DS-2019. However, to transfer the J1 sponsorship my university needs the advisor to sign a paper indication that he has no objection to this transfer. Then they sign the new papers and things go forward. My current J1 end date is mid April. Now I have these questions:
1- if my advisor for any reason, just to hold me down, wants to terminate my program without singing this no-objection form, does it jeopardize my stay in the US? i know that upon termination I should leave immediately! Do I have any chance to stop him from doing this?
2-if I dont tell him anything until my current end date approaches! and then ask the new institute to process my new DS2019, can I be legally staying in the US for 30 days and continue with the new employer? On my passport its stamped that the 2-year rule does not apply to me because im from Iran.
3-Can I change my visa to H1B? if I can when should I do this, before or after my J1 end date? my new sponsor will be a university too. Or can I apply for H1B and terminate my J1 afterwards without jeopardizing my legal stay in the US? Will i be eligible to work immediately with new sponsor or I should wait until the answer for H1b comes?
4-if I apply for greencard now, can I change my J1 sponsor in meantime? I want to apply for greencard and I waited until new sponsor issue my DS, but now I think this could be one way to go to stop my bad advisor affecting my situation.
