I know F1 students can enter upto 30 days before the start date indicated on the I-20. This applies only to new students. Students coming back from vacations etc can enter anytime.

The same will apply for J1 also.

I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
