an advisee of mine applied for a 2-year visiting professor position at a pretty good university in spain last week, and was offered the job without any kind of interview after about 10 days. she has barely sent out her applications for other positions (there are very few so far, not a good market), and wonders whether she should take this offer.
现在找到工作,不知道能否转为H1B签证 Talk to your new employer HR about O visa. About your visa status and J waiver, talk to local USCIS officer through Infopass if you are not sure you need J waiver. See top 3 post for detail. If you want to know J waiver, call Chinese Embassy Ms. Jinhua Xin, see top 3 post.
no other options at the moment. this is the time applicants send out most of their applications and normally they won't know whether they'll get an interview until late Oct or Nov.
