The J1 visa is non-immigrant visa.
It is under the US Department of State. Max duration is five years. You go home for the two-year home requirement before you can reapply for the same visa or another visa.
J1 visa runs for three years with possible two years extension. You will have to go home for a two-year home requirement if your 212e rule is not waived.
TIME
The J1 visa route is a more straightforward process. The process is easier, faster, and less hassle!
With the availability of sponsors for the J1 visa, you can fly to the US in 2-3 months.
SALARY AND BENEFITS
The J1 holder would have the same salary and benefits as any US person. Salaries are based on your credentials and experience.
DEPENDENT VISA AND OPPORTUNITY TO WORK
With the J1 visa, all J2 dependents can work if they apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Learn more: https://j1visa.state.gov/basics/j2-visa/
AGENCY FEES

GUARANTEES
There are no guarantees.
There is no guarantee that you will be offered a job.
For a J1 visa sponsor to approve your sponsorship, all requirements from all parties (host school and applicant) have to be met. Sometimes, there is no guarantee that visa forms are still available, depending on timing.
There is also no guarantee that the US Embassy will approve your visa for whatever reason.
But as they say, do your best, and GOD will do the rest! And if it’s meant to be, it will be – that’s a guarantee!
