朋友现在在全职工作，打算先来美国找个实验室实习一段时间，明年申请PhD。最近做了一些research，才发现貌似全职的工作人员无法申请J1签证（见 [1]）。[1] 中列举的特殊情况比如J1专家签证等，目测不适用于他。或者换句话说，全职工作人员来美国J1签证这条路本就不可行？请过来人指点。
那么多J1博后啊 national lab也是J1

谢谢。我感觉认识的好像都是国内有学生身份或者教职的，或者算是“刚毕业”所以比较好打着“访问学者”的title？不知道是不是这样。
什么时候都可以访学 只要有人愿意接受 跟签证没关系

国务院网站：
Exchange visitor (J) visas are nonimmigrant visas for individuals approved to participate in exchange visitor programs in the United States.
没有提到原来从事什么的限制。
且原始定义(8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(J))
(J)an alien having a residence in a foreign country which he has no intention of abandoning who is a bona fide student, scholar, trainee, teacher, professor, research assistant, specialist, or leader in a field of specialized knowledge or skill, or other person of similar description, who is coming temporarily to the United States as a participant in a program designated by the Director of the United States Information Agency, for the purpose of teaching, instructing or lecturing, studying, observing, conducting research, consulting, demonstrating special skills, or receiving training and who, if he is coming to the United States to participate in a program under which he will receive graduate medical education or training, also meets the requirements of section 1182(j) of this title, and the alien spouse and minor children of any such alien if accompanying him or following to join him;
也较为宽泛，所以我认为如果本来的工作和要学的东西差不多，应该是可以的。但不构成法律建议
