I'm going to the US on a J-1 visa, I don't have a Bachelor's degree, though I have 2 years pursuing it.
It seemed unlikely I'd get a H1-b w/o the bachelors, what other options do I have?
I've thought on going back to Brazil for a year, then coming back on a L1 as a last resort.
- reubenmorais 9y ago(IANAL) Don't forget that the J-1 (from Brazil at least) has a two-year home residency requirement that means you need to live in Brazil for two years before applying for any permanent visa. There's ways to petition for the requirement to be waived but I'm not sure about the details.
- pedro_hab 9y agoThat's my second J-1, I actually got the waiver for the first, but we gave up going for the H1-b at the moment. It was pretty straightforward getting it as a brazilian.
