I think at this point you really aren’t in a position to resettle, though this job may offer the opportunity to see what it’s like to live and work here. As others mentioned, your husband will be barred from working if you’re here on an H1B, and your salary isn’t enough to cover the necessities of life in an acceptable part of Chicago with two young children. Are you prepared to go back to Pakistan to wait out the period after your visa expires? Canada is no longer an option.

There is a bit of a crack down on businesses that abuse J1 visas, and early childhood Ed isn’t considered a highly specialized field, so you’re unlikely to qualify for an H1b. Your first step really needs to be to consult an immigration attorney, and six weeks isn’t really enough time to make this sort of decision, given your circumstances.

thanks for your post. I agree H1 is not an option for me. if they were to choose me I guess theyl have to go for the J1 visa. my husband can work on J2 as far as my knowledge goes.
