EXTENSION OF STAY IN UNITED STATES FOR J-1 VISA HOLDERS:


Foreigners come to United States to work as interns and trainees on J-1 visas. The salaries are in line with those offered to Americans in such positions. Usually one has to be a current student, recent graduate or a young adult (less than 35 years of age) to be able to qualify for such positions. Such opportunities can be for 4 months to ...18 months. On completion of such programs the individual is required to go back to the home country however there are exceptions to this. One can obtain a waiver and then be sponsored for H-1 work visa which can be for 3 years and then extendable by another 3 years. The H-1 visa can also lead to green card and then citizenship of USA. However this is a long process.
