hi i needed to know if you are applying to progs that sponspr both H and J visa,what do you fill out on in the profile on eras?
should i click only on H since i really want H?or is this issue discussed at lenght in the interview.
will the PD give me J cos i had clicked on it when actually i had done it only for safety?
bbb i think this one is for you .confused

Hi Coolbage, Here is what I know about the two visa good/bad points.

Good about H1- no need to go back(to your home country) after completion of residency. can apply for green card and search for a job.

Bad about H1- difficult to go into fellowship, I have no idea why its difficult, but I have heard this from many people.

Good about J1- easier to go into fellowship( again no idea why!)

Bad- may have to go back to your home place as soon as you finish your residency if you do not get a waiver job. experts say that its difficult to get a J1 waiver job, but many people evantually can find one. can not apply for green card.

you will fall into H1B category, which is for expert/proffesional persons. I guess just H1 is for unskilled workers.


My advice, click on bothnod


  #7

right
thanks for that help.....appreciate that

but in the profile have you clicked both the visa types (meaning you wud settle for either) or only the H 1 (which is prferable)...........???


  #8

yes, I have clicked on both H1B and J1. personaly I will also prefer H1 but I am also ready to take J1 from a good program because if I am able to get into a good program(maybe a university program) even on J1, getting a fellowship will be easier.

  #9

right thanks
i had a sudden panic attack about this whole issue!!!!!!!!!!1
have a nice weekend!!!


  #10

i feel gettin fellowship on j1 is easier part is wrong as per my sources.. i clicked only on h1b if it helps.. i wud prefer to sit back a year than take an j1 and then go for a 3yr waiver..
