I am confused how that works. If I currently reside in an EU country and apply for a job posting with FAGMAN, with location in CA, how does that work?

1. Do they heavily penalize my application for not having a VISA? 2. If I do get the job, do they give me an office in the EU until I get a VISA to go to CA?

From what I read, the J-1 requires you to immediately leave the country upon completion of the contract. Of course, one can still apply for another VISA but it does not give you any buffer zone where you can continue to reside and work in the US in the meantime.

For this reason I heard some case where people opt to do a secondary MSc rather than do a post-doc, to get an F-1 VISA instead. Apparently the F-1 gives you three years time to get an H1-B.

Interesting idea, but, for example in my case, the person who is not keen on learning to use a smartphone is even less keen on needing to carry two devices with them. Also in that case they'd also need to remember to charge two separate devices.

For my similiar use case I'd like something even easier. A "phone" with a simple big red button, which when pressed, dials my number.
