Ask HN: Working in US with J-1 visa
Hi, guys.<p>I&#x27;m a Japanese, who want to work in US. I hold a Bachelor of Economics and have 3.5 experience as a system engineer.<p>The visa which I need to work in US would be...
H1B&gt;E-2&gt;L-1&gt;J-1(difficulty order)<p>Now I want to work for a smaller YC (or 500 Startups) backed company and am planning to get a j-1 visa. What process do I need? The most appropriate program for me seems Trainee Program(http:&#x2F;&#x2F;j1visa.state.gov&#x2F;programs&#x2F;trainee).
Do I only need to find a employer and be sponsored by a current sponsor? Or do I need to find a employer and ask the employer for becoming a sponsor?<p>Thanks in advance.
