Re: green card sponsorship
The company can apply for permanent residence ("green card") on your behalf. Make sure your J-1 visa does not have the 2-year residency requirement abroad.
Re: green card sponsorship
Your company can sponsor you for labor certification and then the for permanent residency. If you have 2 years residency requirement in your J1 visa you need to get a waiver.
