之前的J1签证还未豁免，公司的律师不给继续办H1B，求指导

本人2016年2-6月来美国持J1签证做毕设，之后回国又签F1来美国读master。今年二月拿到offer，2月底填了律师事务所的问卷（这个时候还没有申请J1豁免），上周四律师发来followup说，因为J1没豁免，我不qualify H1B签证申请，就不继续给我申了，我argue了一下，对方又回说我如果没有豁免，H1B抽中也会被RFE，如果RFE due拿不出豁免approved的文件，H1B就作废了。我一想估计以后还得用豁免，上周五我就赶紧把豁免申请交了。
麻烦问一下大家，这种情况会影响H1B的申请么？我从朋友那里了解到，只有在H1B激活前approve豁免就行。小白不太懂H1B的详细知识，还请大家指教

谢谢大家，但是argue了半天，公司和律师之间互相踢皮球，我是耗不动了，今年只能算了，祝大家好运

你简单搜一下USCIS的官网
我看到很多 论坛有很多这些讨论， 用英文搜一搜应该有帮助

我刚才在I-129的instruction里找到了这样一段，按我的理解，USCIS说第一句加粗那两个Requested Action才需要提供证明，我这么理解正确不
Classification - Initial Evidence
For all classifications, if a beneficiary is seeking a change of status or extension of stay, evidence of maintenance of
status must be included with the new petition. If the beneficiary is employed in the United States, the petitioner may
submit copies of the beneficiary’s last 2 pay stubs, Form W-2, and other relevant evidence, as well as a copy of the
beneficiary’s Form I-94, passport, travel document, or I-797.
. From 1point 3acres bbsThe beneficiary’s dependent family members (generally, spouses and children under 21) should use Form I-539,
Application to Change/Extend Nonimmigrant Status, to apply for a change of status or extension of stay.
A nonimmigrant, who must have a passport to be admitted, generally must maintain a valid passport during his or her
entire stay.
The following nonimmigrants are not eligible to change status:
1. An alien admitted under a visa waiver program;
2. An alien is transit (C) or in transit without a visa (TWOV);
3. A crewman (D);
4. A fiancé(e) (K-1) or his or her dependent (K-2);
5. A spouse of a U.S. citizen (K-3) or his or her dependent (K-4);
6. A J-1 exchange visitor who was admitted in J-1 status for the purpose of receiving graduate medical training;
7. A J-1 exchange visitor subject to the foreign residence requirement who has not received a waiver of that requirement;
and
8. An M-1 student to an H classification, if training received as an M-1 helped him or her qualify for H classification.

Requested action有：
A. Notify the office listed in Part 4. so the beneficiary(ies) can seek a visa or admission. Check this box if the
beneficiary is outside of the United States, or, if the beneficiary is currently in the United States, but he or she will
leave the United States to obtain a visa/admission abroad.
B. Change the status and extend the stay of beneficiaries who are now in the United States in another status.
Check this box if the beneficiary is currently in the United States in a different nonimmigrant classification and is
applying to change to a new, nonimmigrant status.
Exception: If the beneficiary seeks to change status to H-1B1 Chile/Singapore or TN classification, see Item f.
below.
C. Extend the stay of each beneficiary who now holds this status. Check this box if the beneficiary is currently
in the United States in a nonimmigrant classification and is requesting an extension of his or her stay in the same
nonimmigrant classification.
Exception: If the beneficiary seeks to extend his/her stay in H1B1 Chile/Singapore or TN classification, see
Item e. below.
D. Amend the stay of each beneficiary who now holds this status. Check this box if the beneficiary is currently in
the United States in the same nonimmigrant classification and you are notifying USCIS of any material changes
in the terms and conditions of employment, training or the beneficiary’s eligibility as specified in the original
approved petition.
E. Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification that is based on a Free Trade Agreement. Check this box
if the beneficiary is currently in the United States based on a Free Trade Agreement (H-1B1 Chile/Singapore or
TN classification) and is requesting an extension of his or her stay in that same classification.
F. Change status to a nonimmigrant classification that is based on a Free Trade Agreement. Check this box
if the beneficiary is currently in the United States in a different nonimmigrant classification and is applying
to change to a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement (H-1B1 Chile/Singapore or TN
classification).

A和B应该就是我们常说的境外激活和境内转换吧

只有拿到工作offer才能申请J1豁免吗？提前申请不可以吗？

据说是可以的，因为留服官方说的条件也没说必须有offer，但是注意在向美国国务院和留服递交申请的时候会让你写一个申请原因，我不太清楚如果没有offer该怎么写，不过我觉得应该能在网上搜到模板吧

有大佬解说一下吧，本人明年也会有类似问题

我觉得尽量早点批准下来，虽说大多数律师应该都不会因为你没批准下来而不给你办，但是如果批文在手会少很多事

之前有个帖子的
是H1B申请 和 J1 赦免一起在4月申请的
然后两个一起过了

只有在H1B激活前approve豁免就行

楼主跟律师说选consular petition, 然后在j1 waiver通过之前都不去主动激活h1b身份，看看行不行。
