J1 visa denied :(
Having a bit of a bummer of a day! Found out that my J1 visa got rejected over the weekend and found out the full reason today was 'Essentially the traineeship looked more like a job. Given the previous experience of the pax and the job offer included in the application it seemed evident that the Host Company is using the Trainee Program for recruiting. Since the Trainee Program has clear restrictions regarding filling labor needs, program admission felt this app should be denied. Any appeal should probably go out of its way to prove this is not a regular employee position at the Company and that it varies greatly from the pax's previous experience.'
Any advice or reassuring words would be greatfully received, particularly from Lesley! It's difficult to stay optimistic when the rejection statement seems so final, but I'm going to resubmit a more detailed training plan and get my employer to appeal the decision. Just seem to have some so far, having been looking for a job for over a year and then finally finding an employer that would be willing to wait and fill out the paperwork! Fingers crossed! |

this is a common story, and becoming more and more common.
could the company hire you on an H1? |

Seems to be they reject everything as standard at the beginning, and probably so because so many people do use this as a way to get in the door cough cough. LOL. I was going to suggest the H3 visa if you hadn't had it accepted - I am about to post on that issue myself. I remember the day they rejected my application for the second time - I sat in my office and cried my eyes out as it seemed to be very final, but hey determination and continuous trying gets you a long way!!!! Good luck and hope to hear from you soon - now the fun begins with all the packing and logistics LOL! |
