How far in advance of my employment start date may I file a J-1 waiver and H-I B petition?
A. The timing of the filing of a J-1 waiver is determined by the USCIS rule that requires you to agree to commence the waiver employment within 90 days of the waiver approval by USCIS. So filing a waiver, for example, two years in advance of the start date would lead to questions about your good faith to start work within 90 days of the waiver approval by USCIS.
