j1 to H1b

My visa says it expires on April 19th but my DS expires on April 3rd. My employer is willing to file H1b.

If I file premium processing on April 2nd(1st being sunday, poor me :( ) and I receive receipt in email by April 3rd, can I legally stay here?

I was told my J1 visa also comes with 30 days grace period where I can stay in the US (of course I cant work in the grace period).

I will appreciate everyone who can respond.

Thank you very much.

You can stay for the grace period of the J1, but then you would have to leave the country.
