8老师和群里各位兄弟姐妹,请教:
我老婆去年持因公护照J1签证来美国进修(国内出钱),签证上明确写了"2 year rule does not apply",今年8月满1年。最近老板提出可以给延长,美方出钱,
-Even if the visa page indicated "2 year rule does not apply",you may still be subjected to two year home resident rule. As far as I know, nearly all of the J-1 holders from Mainland China are subjected to this two-year rule, especially your J-1 is supported financially by Chinese Govenment. So, you need to contact the Chinese Embassy to make sure whether this rule does not apply to you.
有几个问题:
1,改为美方出钱后,能否用因私护照办理新的签证?-Yes.如果继续办J1签证,是不是给HR提供因私护照出2019表就行了?-Yes.
2,因为没有2年回国服务的限制,想借这个机会转为H1,用因私护照,是否可行?-Yes. But I don't think the two year rule does not apply to you. See above.
3,无论上面哪种情况,如果在美国境内用因私护照办好了新的J1或者H1,是不是都需要回国/出境一次到大使馆去stamp? -Not need. 悲剧的可能性大吗 (医学,非敏感专业)?
