Hi I am currently in the third year of J1. I recently got a job offer from a non-profit organization that engages in research. My J1 category has been "research scholar" for the past three years. The position I am offered has a designation called "Director" even though the primary purpose of the job is engaging in full time research on the same topic I have been doing research so far. I am wondering whether taking up this position will be against the terms of J1 in any ways.
The new employer has told me that my appointment will be a permanent appointment. But my question is, is it possible to have a permanent placement while on J1? They have told me they could transfer my J1 from the current institution and also start processing for GC. I am almost at the final stage of getting a waiver (received the copy of NOC from India's Washington Embassy). I still have not accepted the offer for this job.
Another related question I have: Is there any limit on the stipend/salary one can receive while on J1?
your advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
