Thank you very much, I truly appreciate your answer.
I think I did not make myself understand. Here is the
thing.
I do have an sponsirship for J 1 (all the documents
ready) , I am an IMG.
The clases I am currently taking in college (as F 1) are,
of course, not related to medicine, so, I just wanted to
know if I can change my status to J 1 visa WHILE I am on a
medical leave of absence from college( I am having surgery
here in the States and my advisor told me that I can
legally take a medical leave of absence for this
semester). I will not be coming back next semester because
by then I will have changed my status to J 1 (assuming I
can do that).
My other concern is: If I try to change my status now (
while on a medical leave of absence), does it really
matter that I will start my residency in July, I mean,
will INS change my status this far ahead, ( remember that
I am on a medical leave of absence here in the US, given
by my school).

I would really appreciate any comments on this.
Thank you
Ped
