My internship from privet company please help
A: You can fulfill it or waive it. Waiving it is extremely complex and you should consider hiring an experienced immigration lawyer to handle the matter.
A:
If you have an internship offer from a private company, you may be eligible for other visa categories in addition to the J1 visa. The most common alternatives to the J1 visa for internships are the H-1B, L-1, or TN visas, depending on your specific situation.
The H-1B visa is available to individuals who have a bachelor's degree or higher and will be working in a specialty occupation. The L-1 visa is available to individuals who are transferring from a foreign company to a U.S. subsidiary or affiliate, and the TN visa is available to Canadian and Mexican citizens who will be working in certain professions under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
To obtain a J1 visa, you will need to first obtain a DS-2019 form from a designated sponsor organization. This organization must be approved by the U.S. Department of State to sponsor exchange visitors. You can find a list of approved sponsors on the U.S. Department of State website.
If you are subject to the two-year home residency requirement, you will need to fulfill this requirement before you can change to another nonimmigrant visa category or apply for permanent residency. However, there are some situations in which you may be able to obtain a waiver of the home residency requirement.
It is recommended that you consult with an immigration attorney or your designated immigration representative to determine the best visa option for your specific circumstances and to help you navigate the application process.
