各位好, 这是小弟第一次发言, 在爬文和看网路资讯後对签证申请还是有很多不解, 因此发文想要询各位问关NIW和J1申请顺序的问题. 还希望能得到各位的帮助. 文章较长,有不清楚的地方还请见谅. 我的资料背景如下. 目前在台湾担任博後 预计年底到美国担任博後, 联系校方预计之後开始处理J1签证的申请. 而我同时也在准备I-140(NIW)的申请, 已经律师(North America Immigration Law Group) 也有找到愿意写推荐函的老师. 我有跟律师提到我要申请J1, 但他的回覆是 要我先申请I-140再申请J1, 律师说这样不影响J1的申请, 但据我了解, 在申请J1时会被询问是否有移民意图, 我担心如果我当时已经投出I-140会被拒签. 所以我有几个问题想要询问 1.J1是非移民意图签证,如果我在提交J1申请前提交I-140表格是否会影响J1签证的取得? 2.大部分J1签证被发放时会受限於212(e) home residency的条款,这似乎取决於金费来源, 如果我的金费并非来自於国家,而来自於私人补助,甚至是我自己的金费, 有没有可能不受限於212(e) 而得到J1签证. 3.律师有提到如果我用J1待在美国後再申请I-140, 可能会构成签证诈欺,被取消身份资格, 但网路上又有许多例子是J1身分下申请I-140的, 律师的说法让我十分担忧, 我不知到该先申请I-140或是J1比较好. 4.我目前大概的时程安排如下,希望各位能给我建议. 先申请J1,到美国後请律师申请I-140,我开始自己申请J1的waiver. 不好意思, 问题比较复杂, 我额外把律师的回覆放在下方, 文长请见谅,谢谢您的帮助. 期待您的回覆. 谢谢. a) You should not apply for J1 or enter the US on the J1 visa if you have immigr ant intent as this action is visa fraud which can result in severe immigration p enalties including removal from the US and/or green card revocation. Immigrant i ntent is defined as your mental intent to file the I-485 application. However, i f you will do immigrant visa processing (IVP), then it should be fine to apply f or a J1 visa and enter the US on J1. b) Some J1 visas are subject to 212(e) home residency. If this applies to you, y ou will not be eligible to get a green card unless you either waive the requirem ent or fulfill the requirement by spending two years in your home country. Depen ding on the nature of your J1 program, it may be very difficult or impossible to have the requirement waived. For more information, please contact your program sponsor whether your J1 visa is subject to 212(e) or not. Lastly, 212(e) is not relevant at the I-140 stage. c) Applying for the I-140 NIW should not impact your ability to get a J1 visa. Y our ability to get a J1 visa largely depends on your program sponsor's policies. If they will issue you a J1 visa, then your I-140 application should not impact your ability to get the J1. Your ability to get J1 is also largely dependent on whether or not you can prove that you have non-immigrant intent. For guidance o n how to obtain the J1 visa, we suggest that you contact your university. --
