There is no home-stay requirement for Switzerland. You
can extend your J1 for another year, up to a max of 3
years. However, you will have to pay taxes now (I
assume you were exempt), depending on how many days
you stayed in the US in the last years.
Also, some countries require you to pay taxes for the
last 2 years if you stay longer than 2 years on a J1 !
Germany, or Holland for example.
But note that even a J1 extension may take a couple of
weeks. But I think your old J1 allows you to stay in
the US while waiting.
> H1B only takes a bachelor, you don't need your Phd.
Right, but (so I was told) bachelors have to prove
that they are skilled which the bachelor title by
itself doesn't. A PhD does. So it may take longer to
get an H1 if you only have a bachelor (or masters for
that matter).
BTW: my H1 lawyer has a good web site with info about
different visas, check out www.roserix.com.
Cheers,
Bela
