Hello,

Is it possible to apply directly for a green card through employment while being on J1-Intern visa? How long do you think it takes to receive it if approved knowing I'm French?

Thanks



I think you need to get an H1B first to be at least eligible to the green card. J1 is a visa with no intent of immigration.
