I am currently in the process of the same transformation. Joining a quant desk, where unit testing, code review and code readability are top priorities really helps a lot.
Hi Peter, is there a way to transfer F1 to J1 visa, so that me as a SO of the F1 holder can get J2 (as a spouse) to be able to work in the US? More specifically - that would be the only reason for my SO to switch the visa type, which IMHO is not sufficient.
There ain't a lot of terrorism in CZ, though the country is filled with hatred mainly towards gipsies and now muslims. Even the government in order to remain elected boycotts EU's directives about accepting migrants and anyone who's not white. I kid you not.
my SO is going to the US to pursue her PhDs. She's on the F1 visa, so even as her spouse I would not be able to work there on F2 visa (if I understood it correctly). I am finishing my masters next June, currently working full time. Is it realistic for me to expect to get H1B as someone with only master degree and 18months full time work experience? Is the $130k/y limitation coming to force any time soon? Is EB1A something I should look more into?
I just started looking more into US visa, apologies if my questions are too naive. Thanks a lot for your input.
