Hello everyone!
So I'm from Argentina, and I've been in a relationship with an american man who lives in the US for 2.5 years now. While we're waiting for me to finish university, I've been doing J1 Work&Travel programs to the US during my summers to get to experience US culture first hand, and to spend time with him. Long story short, my question is: can I be in the process of obtaining a K1 visa, while also applying a J1 visa? From what I've read so far, K1s have long waiting times in between stages, and can take a long time to be finalized: during that waiting time, could I petition and use a J1 visa to work in the US for the winter season?
I apologize if this isn't the best place to ask but it's a pretty specific question and googling told me I can apply for 2 visas at the same time, but not if I'm free to enter and work in the US while waiting on a K1.
Thank you!
