Visas for researchers

By BOYD F. CAMPBELL
Attorney at Law and Civil Law Notary

    Researchers in a wide variety of disciplines may come to the United States to conduct research for private, nonprofit, or government organizations.  Such researchers sometimes come to the United States on J-1 (exchange visitor) visas or on H-1B (specialty worker) visas.
    Participation in a U.S. research program can lead to lawful permanent resident status, based upon an offer of permanent employment.  For example, research participants in some U.S. government programs may be entitled to a waiver of the two-year home residence requirement in J-1 visa status, based upon an offer of permanent employment from the government.
    If you believe you qualify for a position as a researcher in the United States and have an offer of temporary employment, please feel free to get in touch with us.
