Hi,
I am so depressed recently about my US office turned down my
Engineeriing job offer due to the visa issue. The US office legal
department justified my case as not suffiicent to petition for the L1B
visa (which is for company internal transfer for Specialized Knowledge
person). Unfortunately, the FY2007 H1B visa quota was reached at May
2006.
I just wonder if it is feasible to apply for J1 visa for 1 year and
then transfer to H1B visa on FY2008.
I hold a Master Degree in Computer Science subjects in Hong Kong.
The offer from US office is Software Engineer.
Urgently need any help!
Million thanks,
Ada
