can your job provide a non citizen of the united states with right to stay in the country?

Question

visa is expired

Answer 1

If you currently hold a h-1 visa, and it expired, you need to apply for a new visa. Having a job isn't enough for you to stay in status.

Answer 2

Yes! There are employers that can assist in this matter. However if your visa is expired then I doubt that any employer would want this liability because it is your responsibility to keep your visa status updated and for you to extend your status by yourself.

But I would talk to an attorney and try to find out how you can extend your visa or straighten out your status as well as research the embassy online to see how many rules have been violated due to expiration. (I think a lot of that mostly depends on what kind of visa you have and how long it has been expired.) I hope you can get it fixed as sometimes there isn't much sympathy in these cases and if you do then it should be a lesson to update beforehand.

Answer 3

as a non citizen, noting can provide you with the right to stay in the U.S., you must apply for new status within the U.S. by inquiring at a local office. If the visa is also expired, you must also obtain a new one from the Consulate responsible for your home country.

If you are working illegally, you have bigger problems, you should speak to a lawyer.

J1 Visa Details
The J1 visa is designated for educational and cultural exchange programs designated by the US Department of State and the Exchange Visitor Program and Designation Staff. The J1 exchange visitor program is designed to promote the interchange of persons, knowledge, and skills in the fields of education, arts, and sciences.

Some J1 visa holders are subject to INA §212(E) and will need to obtain a J1 Waiver before they can change their status to H1B, L1 or to adjust their status to permanent resident.

Spouses and children of J1 visa holders may enter and remain in the US in J2 status. J2 spouses may apply for a work permit. J2 spouses and children may attend school in the US.

For whom is a J1 Visa appropriate?
Individuals coming to the US for training from programs approved by the DOS in the following areas:

Au Pairs;
Camp Counselors;
College and University Students;
Government Visitors;
International Visitors;
Physicians;
Professors and Research Scholars;
Secondary School Students;
Short-term Scholars;
Specialists;
Summer Work Travel;
Teachers; and
Trainees and Flight Training.
What are the requirements for obtaining an J1 Visa?
A nonimmigrant exchange visitor and his or her accompanying spouse and minor children may be admitted into the United States in J1 and J2 classifications, if the exchange visitor and his or her accompanying spouse and children each presents a SEVIS Form DS-2019 issued in his or her own name by a program approved by the Department of State for participation by J-1 exchange visitors. Prior to August 1, 2003, if exigent circumstances are demonstrated, the Service will allow the dependent of an exchange visitor possessing a SEVIS Form DS-2019 to enter the United States using a copy of the exchange visitor's SEVIS Form DS-2019. However, where the exchange visitor presents a properly completed Form DS-2019, Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J1) Status, which was issued to the J1 exchange visitor by a program approved by the Department of State for participation by exchange visitors and which remains valid for the admission of the exchange visitor, the accompanying spouse and children may be admitted on the basis of the J1's non-SEVIS Form DS-2019.
