What's the difference between American visas J 1 and H 1?

There are many differences between J 1 and H 1. Let's discuss the differences between J 1 and H 1 from their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of J 1 (disadvantages of H 1): for employers, J 1 is quick and convenient to handle. Because J 1 is a visiting scholar, that is, foreigners come to the United States.

China trained it, so as long as the boss wants you and the department agrees, OIS will send the DS20 19 form.

H 1 is a work visa for foreign high-tech talents, and the procedures are complicated, which mainly proves that no suitable person can be found among Americans. Advertisements should be posted first, then reported to the labor department for approval, and finally reported to the immigration bureau for approval. The whole process will take almost half a year, and then I can issue you a visa to the American consulate. Therefore, most bosses are willing to handle J 1 (especially China bosses).

J2, the spouse of J 1, can apply for EAD legal work in the United States within the validity period of J 1/J2. H 1B's spouse H4 can't.

At present, the longest time for J 1 is 5 years, and the longest time for H 1B is 6 years. If you apply for H 1B now, it is hopeless to apply for a green card within six years.

Must leave the country 1 year. If you do J 1 now and J 1 H 1B after the expiration, it may be 1 1 year at the longest.

If you apply for a green card.

Advantages of H 1 (Advantages of j 1): According to the agreement between China and the United States, J 1 has the restriction clause of returning to China for two years. If you don't want to go back when it expires, you must handle it.

Return the exemption procedure of the service. Otherwise, you can't change to other identities and stay in the United States. This is also the reason why many people are unwilling.

Why you want J 1 identity.

1 does not allow immigration tendency, and H 1B allows immigration tendency. Therefore, H 1B will not be refused a visa because of immigration tendency. also

That is to say, H 1B is relatively easier to detect. I know several people who applied for J 1 but were rejected n times. They changed to H 1B and checked out once.

Once the application for green card (I- 140 or I-485) is submitted, or the service exemption for returning home has been handled, J 1 cannot be extended after its expiration (even if it is less than 5 years), and it must be transferred to another identity. H 1B is not affected by this.

According to the policy of Pida Land, if you want to apply for a green card with EB- 1B (that is, your employer supports you), you must keep your status as H 1B for more than two years (excluding the period of J 1).

American law requires H 1B minimum wage, and the boss can't be lower than the standard wage. This can prevent some unscrupulous bosses from taking advantage of loopholes. J 1 has no such stipulation.

Another question about tax exemption: J 1 can definitely be exempted from federal tax within the validity period. Two H 1? Formulate policies according to local conditions.
