Hello,

My mother had applied for family based immigration VISA. She recently just made the AOS/IV payment, so we are expecting to immigrate to U.S. in a year or so. I am just wondering in the mean time if I could apply for J1 VISA to intern in U.S. I understand that J1 VISA is not meant for people with dual intent. However, the company is not going to sponsor me for a H1-B VISA as an intern. I really want to grab onto this opportunity, so I can successfully get a job after we immigrate to U.S. What are my options? Thank you very much!
 
For interns, J1 seems to be the only option (unless you are Canadian or Mexican). This kind of opportunity doesn't come often, so I guess you just have to try!
 
This does sound like something you absolutely must at least attempt. The J1 does seem to be a good option, but we do need to know a bit more about your case. Please keep us posted on the steps you take and how it works out for you!
