J1到H1B转换过程中换工作,不知道转换过程受不受工作变换影响。我听说如果waiver
过程中变换了雇主,在新位置上不能用原来的waiver申请H1B而且大使馆也不会给豁免
第二次,这样我只能回家。如果其间可以更换工作的话,那我是否可以先申请豁免,暂
时先不申请H1B,等到新工作单位在申请? | B*H 发帖数: 2158 | 2 考古一下吧,似乎有个申请到绿卡的人是说,他(她)豁免了后,交了140,然后也一
直用J1,其中有延期的,但不知道有没有换地方。 | s**u 发帖数: 9035 | 3 After you got waiver, you can not extend your J visa only H1B visa, in my
case, I used J1 visa, because my J waiver took 22 months, so I changed 3
employers, all using J visa.
If you file I-140, you can use J visa, if your EB1 I-140 got approved, you
can waiver and get green card in 4 months, no need H1B visa.
If your EB2-I140 got approved, you need H1B visa, you need to wait 6-8 years
to get green card. | r*********3 发帖数: 342 | 4 So it is no problem to change employer during waiver process?

| s**u 发帖数: 9035 | 5 No, if you apply for waiver now, it will be approved in 2-3 months, not like
me 22 months, so it is difficult to change employer during short term.

| r*********3 发帖数: 342 | 6 What I mean is, it is legal/ok for me to change position during waiver
process. The problem is if I can find a new position in such short time. Am
I right? | s**u 发帖数: 9035 | 7 YOu can change if you get a new position in short term. | r*********3 发帖数: 342 | 8 I think there is some misunderstanding. What I want to do is, I try to get
waived now, but possibly I will change to a new position after I get waived,
and then can I apply for a H1b visa directly for my new position? or this
waive is not effective anymore just because my employer changed? | s**u 发帖数: 9035 | 9 Yes, you can. A lot of NIH postdocs finished their 5 year J1 status at NIH,
move to other Institute at H1B status.
