J1 research ? - alprax1983 - ArchivalUser - 02-17-2012 Is it possible to work in US if you are doing volunteer research on J1 visa ? Thanks !! 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-17-2012 nope! 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-17-2012 Volunteer Research on J1?????? You must be getting paid if you are on J1 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-17-2012 @medmatch : Nope.. Not all J1 positions are paid. 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-18-2012 If your mentor has no problem with working you outside/offcampus then you can. You'll have to take permission from International office as well. I know it's possible. I have worked on J1research- paid and unpaid both. 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-18-2012 I am on J1 research currently. Last month I asked my International Students' Office and they clearly told me: YOU CANNOT WORK OUTSIDE YOUR AREA OF RESEARCH.... NOT EVEN IN THE CAMPUS... So working outside your lab will be illegal. You can confirm this from your ISO 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-18-2012 I am not currently working. It was 2 years ago. Who did sponsor your visa? was it your institution here or home country? 0 - ArchivalUser - 02-18-2012 Thank everyone for your inputs ! @ golden11 : My visa is sponsored by institution in US. Did you do paid research in past or some other paid job ? |
