I am already in the US on J-1 status, that expires on July 14. I am about to do a PhD from September on, and I have already obtained the I-20 document.
In general, I am aware of the fact that I'll have to go through an interview at the US embassy in my home country. The question is: Can I submit my application, obtain the DS-160 document, and make an appointment with the US embassy while I am still in the US?
