	I have a comment on the I-539 instructions. In the section "Notice to J Nonimmigrants", it says, "In addition, a J-1 exchange visitor who is subject to the foreign residence requirement, and who has not received a waiver of that requirement, is only eligible for a change of status to a nonimmigrant A, G, T, or U visa." However, in Adjudicator's Field Manual chapter 30.3(b)(2) (see https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-afm/afm30-external.pdf page 21), it says that it is also possible to do a Change of Status from J-1 to J-2 status even when subject to the foreign residence requirement: "Although an application and fee are required, changing from J-1 to J-2 is not regarded as a change of status, therefore, it is not prohibited." I hope you can add a note about this exception to the I-539 instructions, since it would otherwise seem from the instructions that a Change of Status from J-1 to J-2, or vice versa, is not allowed when subject to the foreign residence requirement.	As the commenter noted, a change from J-1 to J-2 is not regarded as a change of status, so the language in the Adjudicator’s Field Manual does not conflict with the Form I-539 “Notice to J Nonimmigrants” that J-1 exchange visitors subject to the foreign residence requirement are only eligible for a change of status to a nonimmigrant A, G, T, or U visa.

	This form should include the question about whether the physical address is the same as the mailing address because this would make it easier for filers. They would not have to provide the same address information twice if their mailing and physical addresses are the same. This question is on a lot of other USCIS forms.	Thank you for your comment. USCIS made a responsive revision. Please see table of changes document.

	USCIS should include the question that allows an applicant to say that their mailing and physical address are the same. Right now, it looks like the form requires the applicant to fill out both of these addresses; there's no question like on other forms to say the addresses are the same.	Thank you for your comment. USCIS made a responsive revision. Please see table of changes document.

	if a person has entered this country under a certain status,that status shoudl remain while they are in this country. if they want to change that status they need to go home to their own country and then apply and then maybe they will be accepted and maybe they will not be accepted. i see no reason that we allow anyone into this country giving false information on their form. give the right information on your application if you wish to be here art all.this allowing foreigners to change status at will is wrong and very expensive to keep tyabs on and to properly plan for. send them home and they can apply from their home country. the majority of americans know there are too many foreigners being allowed into this country - about 20 million too /many. we dont need more non iommigratnts at all. deny them all. deny all of them. biden has let in 20 million - deport them first. the entie situation is ,completely out of hand with american citizens being severely harmed and hurt and compromimsed in our own country by this massive influx. thereis no housing because all these sneaking immnigants have to live somewhere 20 to a room. so there is no housing for americans anymore. no low cost housign at all for our people. deport the damnimmigarnts back to their own country and housing will free up. biden is causing this. shortage of food - twenty million more sneaking lhying immigrant stealing food and getting frfee tood nd then food becaomes expensive for americans. wew are suffering as american citiznee srom this stupid vapid nasty biden, who shoul dbe impeached. we used to have a farily decnet country. now we have robbers in govt all over the place terrorizing american citizens. we have no money left with inflation from these causes. biden is a terrorist to americans. stop this horror brought upon americans by biden. demented as he is. imo	Comment not germane to the information collection.
