EDITING :
I Edit my post because finally I discovered that J-1 visa can stay in the US during 30 days after the expiration day. Sorry for the waste of time, I am really dumb ; I didn't know that rule !
Thanks for your message and your help.
Best.

Apply for an OPT visa, maybe?

Greetings Polo104:
Yes, most individuals apply for an OPT visa to be able to sit for the Bar. It gives the OPT holder 12 months of authorization to work and live in the US. Alternatively, I know applicants that left the country after their LLM and travelled back in on a tourist visa to sit for the bar (obviously, they did not intend on staying and working in the US).

Foreign-trained lawyers can use LL.M.s to gain bar eligibility in several US states, but should beware that eligibility requirements are continuously evolving.
