现在在学校做博后，1月刚拿到H1b, 但是要换地方了，新的工作不支持H1b， 只能申
请J-1。
请问H1b怎么转成J-1？必须要回国重新签证吗？
-You can change your H-1b status to J-1 within US by filing I-539. You need to talk to the International Student Office in the new school which issue you DS 2019 for help.

By the way, if you change status to J-1, you will need to get the J-1 waiver or go back to China for two years if you want to apply for H-1b again or apply for green card in the future.

谢谢！
