I am working as a post doctoral researcher.
I am on J1 visa which was subjected to 2 year home residency requirement. I got the waiver for this requirement. Before applying for the waiver, I extended my DS-2019. After the waiver I also filled I-485 which is currently pending.
Since I already have the J1 waiver and filled the I-485, I know I cant extend my current postdoc contract beyond the expiration date of the current DS-2019 form.
But is it ok to extend my current postdoc contract (expiring on 31 January, 2017) with the university within the expiration date of the current DS-2019 form (valid till Nov., 2017).
My DS-2019 is valid till November, 2017 and my J1-Visa stamped in the passport valid just one more week (31st January, 2017). My I-485 is still pending and have not received EAD yet. I would greatly appreciate your response. Thanks.
