Hi, I am right now employed on H1B as post doc fellow and my H1B along with job is expiring on June 30th. I was searching for jobs and hoping to find an employer who can extend my H1B. But it has not happened.
Instead I am getting an offer but this person want to process J1 instead of H1 for me, Please help me understand
1) should i accept this changes of status from H1B to J1? Will it be good for my near future GC applications? I am not sure if this J1 will be subjected to HRR conditions?
2) Can i apply for a NIW/GC on J1 (without going via H1B or i still need to get another H1 after J1 for NIW applications?)
3)This employer is forcing J1 for me as he says there is not enough time left for me to apply since it runs out on June 30, and yet he does not want to do a premium processing? i dont understand his reasoning why he is not offering me a H1 instead .
4) i dont have any other option at this time, if i decline to him and J1 i have to go home to india. Can i apply for B1 and search for a job that can maintain my H1?
Please help what should I do, insist on H1B? or accept J1.
thanks
