J1 to H1B nonimmigrant status change affected by cap?
- Thread starter Bandido
- Start date
you will first need the waiver to apply for the H1B. as of now, H1BS through conrad 30 are exempt from cap, those thro' HHS are exempt if they r research or affiliated to a university, some VA ones are exempt too. there is a bill in congress to get them all exempt. it hasn't been passed yet. check out shusterman.com.
First of all thanks for your answer...
do I always have to apply for a waiver? I thought only if I belong into one of those three categories!
and what does H1BS mean? To be honest I don't really understand, what you said in the second part... What kind of H1Bs are not affected by the cap?
thanks again

you will need a waiver if you are subject to the home country return requirement. if you are from the medical profession, you will not be subject to the H1B cap if you apply through conrad 30 or research. if you r not from the medical profession, i guess jobs in the non profit sector are not subject to the cap.
being subject to the H1B cap depends on who is sponsoring you. there r certain categories that are excempt from the cap like non profit organizations. it might be worth checking with a lawyer first about which categories are exempt and then finding a job with such an employer.
in the medical field, affliation to a university, research based organizations and conrad 30 applications are exempt from the cap.
