Hello Gurus,

I am in a unique situation. I have completed my J1 waiver on an H1 visa and wish to change my job. The new employer does not qualify for H1 exemption but I am told that since I have done a J1 waiver, all subsequent employment is H1 cap exempt. Any experiences?
 
nope

as far as i know only the waiver job is always cap exempt irrespective of employer. after that it depends on who you work for.

check with your attorney.
 
H1B cap after J1

Hi H1capdoc,

There really seems to be a lot of debate about this -- I think the wording on the I129 is "are you the beneficiary of a J1 waiver?". Only God knows if they refer to the J1-waiver job or to any job after that. If you talk to a lawyer and get a clear answer plase post. Or someone who might actually have been through this might want to share his or her experience ...
