1. What is the difference between H1B and J1 Visa?
The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa for foreign workers in specialty occupations that require a bachelor's degree or higher. It allows individuals to work in the U.S. for a specific employer for up to 6 years, with the possibility of permanent residency. This visa is commonly used by professionals in fields like technology, engineering, and healthcare.
The J1 visa is for individuals participating in exchange programs, such as cultural exchange, research, teaching, or internships. It is often issued for a specific duration (usually 1–3 years) with an option to extend for another 2 years. After completing the program, participants are required to return to their home country. The J1 visa is typically used by students, scholars, and those in work-and-study-based programs.
