我有个朋友2006年开始在新加坡上本科
2009年拿J1 签证做交换生来加州学习半年
2012年8月 来美国上硕士
2014年8月找到工作,现在要办H1B
H1B申请里有一条
Has any beneficiary in this petition ever been a J-1 exchange visitor or J-2 dependent of a J-1 exchange visitor?
1) 这个应该是Yes,还是No.呢?
-Say "Yes".
2) 如果是Yes,是不是必须要obtain waiver呢?
-Depends on whether his J-1 needs J-1 waiver. Some J-1 does not need waiver, such as short term J-1 (i.e. no more than 6 months). So, he needs to check whether his J-1 needs waiver.
3) 如果要waiver,那应该怎么申请处理呢?
-It will take a longer time for J-1 waiver. See this website:
