Hi guys,

I wanna work in US.. planned to work 3-5 years?
is it possible?

true true... can use h2b/j1internship also...if got $$ study 2< then ur f1 visa allows internship too

The H2B working visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign nationals to enter into the U.S. temporarily and engage in nonagricultural employment which is seasonal, intermittent, a peak load need, or a one-time occurrence.

The duration of J-1 status depends on the rules established by your particular Visitor Exchange Program. To determine the duration of your program, review your IAP-66 or Certificate of Eligibility. You may be eligible to extend your stay under the J-1 Visa if your total stay period does not exceed the maximum duration of stay for the program and your program sponsor agrees to your extension.

The most common J-1 categories along with its corresponding lengths of stay are listed below. For more information about J visa extensions, please click here.
Secondary school (12 months)
College and University students (duration of studies plus duration of Practical Training Program(18 months for baccalaureate/masters and 36 months for post doctoral students) following graduation)
Non-degree student in college and university (24 months)
Business trainees (18 months)
Trainees in flight aviation programs (24 months)
Primary and secondary school teachers (36 months)
College professors (36 months)
Research scholars (36 months)
Medical residents/interns receiving medical training in the U.S. (duration of residency program, 7 year maximum)
Specialists (12 months)
International visitors (12 months)
Government visitors (18 months)

H2B is only for seasonal work, so cannot work for 3-5yrs continuously.
most ppl on J1 VISA cannot stay for 3-5yrs. only medical residents and teachers. US no storage fof pri/sec teachers.

Definitions

The definition of "temporary services or labor" now includes a specific one-time need of up to three years, without requiring the employer to demonstrate extraordinary circumstances.

Eligible Foreign Nationals

H-2B petitions will be approved only for nationals of certain countries important to the operation of the program and appearing on a list to be published annually in the Federal Register. Among the initial list of 28 participating countries to be published simultaneously with the Final Rule are Mexico and Jamaica. On a case-by-case basis, however, DHS may allow a worker from a country not on the list to be eligible for the H 2B program if it determines that such participation is in the U.S. interest.
