I was in a similar situation and I was told that I had to go to Canada... I hope that someone who could adjust in the US will show up on this thread, otherwise you may have to plan a weekend in Canada...

Be patient. It may take a while. I wouldn't even think to worry about it before a month.

What country are you from? What is your current status in the US?

Hello, I have a question. You said the training is paid : who's paying the training? This is an important information. Do not mention that you want to get a H1 visa when you get the J1: J1 is a non-immigrant visa and if you show you intend to stay in the US, you may be denied entry. In...

Hello, I sent emails to greencardapply.com. They beat around the bush and didn't answer my questions. I decided not to buy anything from them. Regarding usaia.org, I am still satisfied with the NIW case, but very disappointed of their EA kit. It is a real joke: $59 for 22 stapled pages...

Powerz, Believe it or not, many journal editors desperately need reviewers. You don't need to be very convincing and find good arguments! Just tell them your title (should be Ph.D...), affiliation, your field/interest (list a few key words or precise your field), and that you are...

Thanks eb1a-query. :)

Quick question: What is LUD? :confused:

It sure did: I have more papers than what I can handle right now... :)

Exactly. Just send a letter or email to the editor along with your resume and area of interest. :)

Indeed, the package is good in terms of showing how to organize the application, what type of info to include, how to get recos, etc. but the argumentation must be stronger than ever and be adjusted to recent decisions to ensure approval. Unfortunately, without satisfactory credentials...

Indeed, nothing replace good credentials You're right: nothing can replace good credentials: garbage in; garbage out. Nobody should rely on a single source, but this example gave me many new ideas and a framework to start from. I also read a LOT from different RECENT sources. I have been...

Hello, My diplomas and some of my articles are not in English. I have no intention of translating all my articles in English (!) but I would translate the abstracts. What should I do about translation? Can I translate these documents myself or am I required to have them translated by a...

Hi! 1) You need to meet at least 3 of their 10 criteria. Here is what I think: (a)11 papers in international journals (5 first-author ones), 300+ citations. Excellent! 300+ citation is impressive. Here you meet one criteria. (b)Some news media reports on the research I'm involved in, but...

All companies will tell you that the kit they sell is the best. However, I didn't want to buy something that I can find for free on the Internet such as the forms and "the correct address where to send the application". I went to www.usaia.org. They answered my questions within a few hours...

Thanks for reminding me the citation thing. I am working on it. I will target 10-12 letters. I am not from a retrogressed country so I may apply on both NIW and EA. I will build my argument around what I can do about school violence since this is my area of specialization. I shouldn’t have...

It is known that J1 waivers based on no-objection are NOT granted if the person got a J1 through a Fulbright scholarship. If you get a J1 visa, you'll eventually have to leave the country for 2 years and being married to an American citizen won't be an excuse to get the waiver.

No. Even though you are not on the skill list you may be subject to the 2-year residency requirement. If you give more details, I may be able to help. I got my J1 waiver a year ago.

Once again, thanks to you all. There is a contracting company that could operate between me and the schools, but I would be subject to H1-cap, meaning waiting for months… I’ve been on a H4 for almost three months (I was on a J1 till August) and I don’t want to stay on H4 for too long. It will...

Thanks for your help. I have been trying to get a job in many ways: 1) Assistant professor (university). There is no opening in my field where I live. Since my husband recently got his H1 after obtaining a J1 waiver as a physician, he has to stay at the same hospital for 3 years.This narrows...
