Thank you, redhill, for all your replys. Now I am in US under J1visa. Before that, I have gotten B1/2 visa for five years(still valid). In my case, I have to apply J1 waiver first and then apply H1B.

It will take long time. And the employer wants me to start work now, of course, it will get paid. Probably the best way for me now is to work under B1 as an intern first before getting the J1waiver and H1B.

There are few international employee in that firm. The other Chinese girl in the firm did her transfer from F1 to H1 all by herself. The employer signed all the letter though.

I am not sure about whether I can use my B1-2 to work before getting the waiver...Sorry, the case is too complicated. When you enter US by B1 last time, what did you said in the customs, travelling for fun or for intern?

枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 可以用B1签证在美国实习吗，谢谢 -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-21 (#1811835@0)

可以。我曾经用B1签证在美国实习过一年。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1811980@0)

How you manage that? Stay for half year and go outside the US and come back for another half year? Thanks a lot!!! -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-22 (#1812157@0)

Is there any special process I have to follow? Or just enter US by showing B1/2 I already have. That's it?? -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-22 (#1812160@0)

你现在在美国的身份是B1/B2还是J1？你现在的B1/B2签证还有效吗？ -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812349@0)
请向你的雇主及雇主的律师询问。我当时是由公司的人事部办理的，我不知道具体详情。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812367@0)

did you get paid for your internship? if so, did you need SSN for getting on payroll? thus B1 can get SSN?thx -lile601(lile601); 2004-7-22 (#1812396@0)

B1不能付工资，只能付生活费。我那时是以B1的身份得到SSN的。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812432@0)

nowadays, it's almost impossible to get SSN as B1. did you hold chinese passport that time? -lile601(lile601); 2004-7-22 (#1812453@0)

Yes. -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812790@0)

cannot pay salary? It will be terrible. Is there any limitation on the total amount? -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-22 (#1813014@0)

不知道有什么限制。我想只要合理，符合生活费的定义就行了吧？当时给我的生活费是每年两万美元左右。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-23 (#1813978@0)

Is there somebody will check it? Can I ask my employer pay me more than SHENG HUO FEI? Probably I should ask my employer to pay me SHENG HUO FEI each months before I get H1, and make up those -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 {38} (#1814509@0)
ammount of money later after I get H1.

that's cheating. Also, the empolyer should pay tax and social security according to ur salarly, how can they hold on this? -lazylazy(明天就不懒了！); 2004-7-23 (#1814526@0)

Sorry, another question for REDHILL, when you enter US under B1 for the internship, what you said about the purpose of visit? travel for fun or travel for intern??? Thanks a lot -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 (#1814517@0)

我当时是以培训实习为由持一次入境有效B1签证从中国进入美国的。入境时移民官给了我6个月有效的I-94，然后我又在美国国内延期6个月。到期后按时离开美国。中间没有离境，也没有多逗留一天。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-23 (#1814602@0)

I did NOT need SSN for getting on payroll that time. -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812798@0)

我当时是在美国申请延期的。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-22 (#1812356@0)

我怀疑你现在的B1/B2签证可能已经失效了。你现在是J1身份。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-23 (#1813993@0)

why expire? The expire date on my B1-2 visa is 2008 -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 (#1814505@0)

redhill is right, once you use J visa to enter US, by law, your B1/B2 status is automatically void. -lile601(lile601); 2004-7-23 {311} (#1814541@0)
someones has 10 yr valid B visa before, once they changed status to F1 and entered US, their B status were void.
I also doubt you can legally use the existing B visa entering again, once one status got void, you must re-apply for it.
You can check with some immigration lawyer or directly contact INS officer.

Now u r J-1, so if u want to use B-1, u need to reenter into US by B-1, get it? -lazylazy(明天就不懒了！); 2004-7-23 (#1814514@0)

Sure. Thanks. I live in Toronto. It is not a big deal. Just exit and reenter. :) -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 (#1814518@0)

建议你在问题没有搞清楚以前不要轻易离开美国。通常在美国国内转身分比在美国国外要容易很多。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-23 (#1814586@0)

Thank you for all replys. I only can stay one more month after my J1. That is September. I live in Toronto and my return ticket is at the end of Aug. I hope I have not accepted this J1 intern. ... -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 {64} (#1814682@0)
Make things too complicated. I need ask a lawyer to handle this.

I am confused. Someone told me I can use my B1 reenter US. someone said cannot... -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-23 (#1814721@0)

现在的问题是，从理论上讲，你的B1/B2签证已经失效了。如果你现有的B1/B2身份的I-94还没有失效（可能性不大），并且当你入境美国时美国海关关员没有核对电脑里面有关你的信息，你还是有可能进入美国的。但你要知道这是有一定的风险的。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-23 (#1814797@0)

yes. redhill. you are right. my previous I-94 for B1-2 is already expired. When I reenter US, my I-94 for J1 will be already expired too. I need a new I-94 for my B1-2. And my B1-2 is multiple entry. -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-24 {104} (#1815196@0)
If I drive from Canada to US, hope I will be more lucky. I will ask INS first before leaving US. Thanks

据我所知，J1只是对移民签证和非移民工作类签证（如：H1，L1,TN)有两年回国服务期的限制。B1/B2不在其限制范围之内。 -redhill(红山); 2004-7-24 (#1815224@0)

yes. so hopefully i can reenter US by using B1-2? -graceflower(开心果冻); 2004-7-24 (#1815302@0)
