他是他们国家的J1 做博后 老婆是J2

做了两年博后后他决定 apply for NIW Eb2

去年三月做了212E Waiver 这样不用回他们国家

去年七月交上了NIW的 Eb2绿卡申请

今年他找工作找到了tenure track 我们都为他高兴

结果他的J1 visa这个月过期 但是老板还要留他到六月一号 学校发现没法extend J1了 因为212E waiver的事

我不是很懂J visa的事，帮他来这里问一下

是不是他唯一的选择就是premium H1b？同时新学校也可以做H1b的申请，同时申请，但是开始的时间不同。

-Yes, he can ask the school to file I-129 to change his J-1 status to H-1B now. He can use premium to get it approved in 15 days. The HR of the school or the lawyer the school hired knows how to do it. He needs to provide the copy of the J-1 waiver approval notice. Then, he can do the H-1B transfer to the new school for the tenure-track job after he finishes his current J-1 program.
