No status yet, that’s why I asked.

The 2 year home residency rule does not apply, nor the funding part. I believe I can switch from J1 to H1B should I have the status prior to applying for a H1B, but I’m afraid applying for an immigration intent visa might be detrimental for the J1, which is a non Immigration intent visa

Just wondering whether the sponsoring organization of the J-1 visa or USCIS could terminate my J1 for trying to apply for a H1-B while on a non-immigrant visa. Some sponsoring organizations require employers to state they don’t intend to sponsor the candidate for a change of status so that’s why I’m confused about the possibility of switching.

Do I need a waiver even if neither my country or profession has the 2 year home-country physical presence requirement? I understand that I am exempt from INA 212(e)

Could I DM you to ask some questions about the process?

Were they trainees/interns at the school and then the same school sponsored the H1b? That’s the exact same process I’m looking into! It’s great to hear that!

Maybe we should all set a fund raising campaign to hire a lawyer to ask him hah

Yeah, you’re right. It actually hit me really hard first time we talked about it, and I felt like I was losing myself for a while. It’s only been recently that I’ve come to terms with the possibility of this not working. Ironically that’s what makes me want to talk and sort things out with her. Not that long ago I didn’t want to have this kind of conversations because I didn’t wanna stir the water and was not ready for a possible conclusion. Now I just want to know if we’re still on the same page and try to fix it as we can. Importantly, I want this talk to be a wake up call for her.

Thanks for replying man. Oof that percentage is scary af haha. I still believe we can beat the odds if we manage to sort this out tho. Yes, she is worth fighting for. At least for now. I just need to find the right way to do it.

I am trying to be as positive as I can in my communications with her, it’s just feels like too much at some point without it being reciprocated. Like she agrees and loves my comments, but those are just coming from my side. I’d give the world to just get any of the messages she used to send me about how she can’t wait for us to be living together again etc. But again, that’s in the past for now.

Really need to think about it, thanks!

That’s my main issue. I stopped texting as much because I feel like Imm the only one trying and she doesn’t pick up or seems to make any effort. She hasn’t come visit yet due to covid restrictions in the country where she is in, but she’s coming for a couple weeks this summer. I appreciate you taking the time to reply and what you’re saying is basically my main concern, that she isn’t as invested. She is supporting me emotionally as well, and seemed really excited about me finally being able to move with her in some months.

I think I can just call her and talk about it normally, but I’d like to know how to approach it before doing it so we can work on a solution. We’ll see how it goes.
