Thank you. Redhill. I already got NO OBJection letter for the J1 waiver. The only thing left is waiting for the final J1 Waiver. I am wondering during that waiting time, can I start to apply H1. Or I cannot

难道你真的要自己申请H1-B吗？通常申请H1-B是要通过律师的。如果我在这里说可以，而你的律师说不可以，那又有什么用呢？

I think you can start to apply H1 because you already got NO OBJection letter for the J1 waiver.

that No Obejection letter is from Canada government. The final waiver decision should come from US government

如果No Obejection letter is from Canada government，那应该更容易了。

我看你还是抓紧时间（不通过律师）赶快办理吧！准备材料也要花很多时间呢！

另外你有没有考虑过不离境而在美国境内转换身份呢？这样是不是有可能更好一些？还是考虑稳妥一些为好。真不想你留下什么后患。

thank you, redhill, for your quick reply. Do you know where I can find an affordable lawyer to handle this for me? How to transfer "SHEN FEN" in US? I just do not know what I should do now

there must be some way to transfer directly from J1 to H1. I searched google, but got nothing.

they just promises to sign all the required forms. But has not promise to provide leagal assistance yet. There is another Chinese girl in this firm. She transfered from F1 to H1 and shedid everything by herself. The boss signed everything though, and she finally got H1.

那你还是请教一下她怎么办吧！请律师办H1-B也挺贵的，要1000多美元呢！

你现在在美国哪个城市？你先看看这个华人律师的网站 （见网页链接）。我曾经办过4个H1-B状态，都是由雇主的美国律师办理的。

应该跟F1 to H1差不多吧？

Thanks. You are professional. I am in DC. I found some links about transfering from J1 to H1B, probably useful to people who has similar questions

一旦转换身份的申请递上去以后，就可以在美国境内合法等候，即使签证过期也不要紧。

F和J身份的學生學者只要在7月31日之前遞交H-1B身份的申請，並且該H-1B身份申請的開始時間是2004年10月1日，即使F和J身份失效，也將被移民局視為合法居留，無須離境。

Redhill. Thank you so much for all your information. According to the link you provided, I send an email to Lawyer Zhang and got his answers already. Before getting J1 waiver, I cannot apply H1.But I can still use my B1 as an intern

你最好再问问能否不离境，也就是说在美国国内进行J1-B1转换。我觉得你再入境可能会有困难。

you mean J1-H1 transfer, right? I just got another lawyer's reply. I can file my H1 by attaching the copy of No Objection Letter and receipt before getting the actually waiver. That sounds good. But shetold me that I cannot do internship under B1. Why the lawyers' replys are different. I have to call USCIS then :(

I mean J1-B1(!!!) transfer. Maybe you have to do J1-B1transfer then you can do your internship under B1.

Another question, if I stay in US until I got the H1B, can I intern with that firm?
