Hey guys,
If one changes his job while in the 3 years of the J1 waiver due to extenuating circumstances:
1-does one need a new J1 waiver spot through the conrad 30 program if the new job is in the same state?
2-Will I need a new H1B visa?
3-Will the time already spent on the old job be counted towards the 3 years waiver or do I start all over?

Thanks for your input.

No. Only condition is that new job be in HPSA or MUA/MUP. The application goes directly to USCIS for H1B transfer.
2-Will I need a new H1B visa?

Yes. H1B is employer specific.

3-Will the time already spent on the old job be counted towards the 3 years waiver or do I start all over?

Yes, the time spent on old job will count.

Yes. But with a H1b transfer, you don't need to wait for the approval. You can start to work the moment you have the filing receipt.

extentuating circumstances

Hi,

I am an MD in the 2nd yr of his j1 waiver job in arkansas.I trained in internal medicine .I really hate where i work at and just found out they violated emtala violation for the past yr.Its a group practice and these other MDs and their nurses were transferring patients from the adjacent hospital er to the clinic.(those that were deemed non emergent at their discretion over the phone)would this be a breach of j1 contract or could it be considered an extentuating circumstance ?i already got an offer from another hospital in the same state which falls under health care shortage area and am thinking about switching j1 jobs.


I also got an offer from a va hospital can i switch to a va hospital from my current clinic job?

Regards,
 
Is your present employer sponsoring your GC? If he is, then i think its probably best to get the process over with. Otherwise, you move and start the whole crappy process over again. Also, if u are going throuw NIW, probabkly best to do atleast 3 yrs. On the other hand, if your GC is not dependent on your employer (eg wif etc), then u can move. Many opprtunities for J1 waivers now a days.
 
extentuating circumstances

thanks docboston for your input.i really appreciate it.

Does anyone know a top notch attorney who can find some extentuating circumstances for me?

1-would emtala violation encouraged by the clinic i work at be one of them?
2-my clinic put in an addendum to my contract after i moved here which was 3rd party aggrement and wasnt signed by me.it s a 150000 dollar release clause whick kicks in after the 1st 12 mths each month i stay here they payment goes down by 7000 $/mth.this was an aggrement between the clinic that sponsored my j1 and the adjacent hospital who helped them sponsor my salary. apparently this was mandated by anti kick back law or stark law .i didnt sign this part of contract and i would not have aggreed to this is this legal??

regards,
