using someone else's SSN is bad. really bad. and it is a crime. :(

did you receive your salary through company's payroll? or is it "under-the-table"? if it's through payroll, then USCIS might discover it. You should hire a lawyer to help you sort this out. if it's under the table, you should be fine. but please don't do anything ILLEGAL again going forward...

i see. thanks! another question. when you fill out the DS 3035 online, did you already state there that you want to convert your current visa into a non-immigrant H1B visa? does it have to be specific? thanks again.

hey congratulations. =)

hi melai0306, you mentioned that you're currently on F1 visa, and had J1 3 years ago. does it mean you were able to convert your visa/change status from J1 to F1 without the waiver? Thanks. =)

Can my future employer sponsor me for an H1B with this setup? Hourly wage will be will be $25/hour (higher than prevailing wage in work area), but i will work only for 30hrs/week then they will finance my part-time MBA program. :)

hello. I'm currently on J-1 (finance trainee) and my host employer is willing to sponsor me on a H1B work visa. i understand that J1 to H1 is a painful process, so I'm also thinking of an alternative legal path so I can stay longer. maybe J-1 to F-1 (with work permit)? or J-1 to J-1 while...

J1 visa is for Professional Training. H1B is a Working Visa. Please contact your employer and ask them. If they really want you to work ASAP, they should know what to do with your visa application. conversion of J1 to H1B is NOT EASY.

hi galantry, i have a further question on this. on the letter of employment offer, was it notarized/authenticated here in the US? how much did you pay for notary service? was the letter addressed to CFO or to you? I am about to ask my host employer to make a letter for me, but I'm not...

thanks. i'm now starting to write my waiver request. i'll try to make it long. :D btw, how much did you pay for the notary services? i already have "clearance" letters from my previous employers, but they were dated 2008. ipapa-notarize ko ba yun dito sa US?

hi Galantry, how many pages did you use in writing these reasons? :)

wow! i'm glad that there are other Pinoys here too! I'm also in the process of securing an NOS from CFO. Do you know anyone from non-medical/teaching field who received an NOS? My visa is a bit different because I'm a finance management trainee. It's valid for only 18 months and will...

Anyway, I also asked the same question in other online forum and someone told me that you should be able to apply for an H1B visa last April 1 even without a J-1 waiver. they said that the application on April 1st is for US Dept of Labor's assessment (?) to determine if the H1B work is...

thanks mmed, you're very helpful! =)

Hi mmed, in connection to this, can someone apply for a J-1 waiver (NOS) even if s/he doesn't have an H1B sponsor yet? :) Can I tell the USCIS that I want the 2 yr residency requirement waived because I intend to apply for a, say tourist Visa in the future? Thanks.

hi ipf, whatever happened to your case? I'm also interested to know because I will be in the US on a J-1 visa this November. Anyway, I also asked the same question in other online forum and someone told me that you should be able to apply for an H1B visa last April 1 even without a J-1...
