Hello!
I read a few threads about the subject but that did not help me. Interesting though.
I was a student and am still on my F-1, I got a certificate here in the US in the field I am currently working in (full time at a private company). It looks like I won' t qualify for the H1B. However, I had one attorney who suggested that I should get a J-1, another attorney told me I could not get a J-1 because my OPT is equivalent to a J1 and the immigration won' t let me have this experience twice.
Who should I believe?
Also, I understand I would have to find an organization that would help me get that J-1, who should I go with? My company is ready to sponsor me in anyway but has never dealt with J-1, so I understand I have to go through a third party organization.
I would appreciate any help or advice on my situation !!!
Thanks!
Axel
