J1 transfered to H1B Completing form I-131 Part 1 Question 3: "Class of Admission"

Question

My wife got to the United States first through a J1 visa. Here, she found a job and changed from J1 to H1B through her employer.

In form I-131, Part 1, question 3: “Class of Admission”, should she enter J1 or H1B? We are almost sure it’s J1 but want to be sure.

Answer 1

Put down whatever visa she used to last enter the US.

Answer 2

I'm not sure why you are filing I-131 Advanced Parole though, if she is already in US. Carefully read "Who May File Form I-131"

I think she should file file I-539  Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status with the H1B approval.
