I am a PhD student (on F1-visa), who's more or less been offered a decent Post-doctoral fellowship in UK immediately after gradschool. What are the implications of this if I want to return to the US for either an industry or academic position? I know that I'd be giving up the OPT option if I accept the fellowship.
- Myrmornis 8y agoI was a Brit doing PhD in USA and did exactly this (except I was on J1 for grad school), and then returned to USA for an industry position on H1B and subsequently green card and it was all fine (latter stages with help of Peter and his colleagues as it happens).
- proberts 8y agoAnd without that kind of background, I suspect that you also would have a strong O-1 if the timing of the H-1B doesn't work.
- proberts 8y agoI meant with - not without - that kind of background.
- suyoghc 8y agoThanks, that's helpful to know! Do you believe an O-1 would be equally easy to obtain whether I go into academics or industry? How reluctant are companies when it comes to interviewing someone who isn't presently in the US?
