  • Applying for extension of visa before expiry of the former one

    Hello
    I have a J-1 visa which will expire by the end of next February, however, my DS-2019 will be extended till March 2018.
    My question is:
    Can I apply for extending my visa at some consular post (for example Montreal) before my visa expires?
    If the answer is yes, and assume they need time for administrative processing, can I re-enter the US with my old visa until they decide on my new visa? or will they stamp my old visa with 'cancelled without prejudice' which forces me to stay outside the US until they resolve the case?

    Thank you,

    Hello

    Hello
    I too have similar question.

    I have J-1 visa as short term scholar, which will expire by the end of Nov 2016. Now my host faculty is willing to extend my time duration.


    My question is:

    Can I apply for extending my visa? or do i need to change the category from short term scholar to Research Scholar?



    Thank you,
