I filled an i-539 for j1 to b2 visa on feb 1, my visa ends on march 25, 2018. i just received receipt number, can i wait in us till i get decision?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee

Individuals who timely file changes of status in the U. S. from J-1 to B-2 are allowed to remain in the country while awaiting a decision from U.S.C.I.S. The downside is that when U.S.C.I.S. makes a decision after the date of authorized nonimmigrant stay, and that decision is unfavorable, the applicant is considered out of status as of the date of authorized stay – in your case, March 26, 2018 (unless you failed to count the grace period, in which case your nonimmigrant stay would actually expire on April 25, 2018).
