The german company I work for here in GA got me a J1 visa in August 2004 for 18 months. This visa expires on january 31st 2006. They want to keep me here and get me a new visa. But my boss seems to be IMO not very well informed about what kind of visa they can get me fast that would make to be able to work here. I'm supposed to go back to my home country (Germany) on March 1st (after 30 day travel time that i want to take after the expiration of my visa) and wait their until I get my new visa. However, I have a life here and a boyfriend (who unfortunately doesnt' want to get married for visa purposes ) and I don't want to be away from here for too long. What are my options? My boss says she didn't want to apply for a new visa as long as this one didn't expire because it could get me in trouble with immigration? Is that true?
I'm confused...
