Hello,
This is for a friend of mine who has been offered to work on a J1 visa, but has a pending GC application filed by his family. He has been told the J1 visa is difficult to get with a pending GC application. Can he secure the J1 visa on the argument that the GC application will take a long time to come thru (atleast 7-8 years from now), by the time, he will fulfill the 2 year Home residency requirement/waiver etc.
Also, he has been told that in case the J1 is rejected, there is a chance that the B1/B2 tourist visa he holds will also be rejected. So going for this interview will not reject the j1 but also any chance of going to the US as a tourist till he gets his GC approved, is that correct? can anyone suggest any solution?
please advise if some one has any experience on this.
