manne Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hello, I am on a J1 Research Scholar visa for the last 4 months. I might have to leave my current position and travel to India for personal reasons. I am subject to section 212(e). But I plan to return after few months on a dependent visa or visitor visa. My questions are: 1. Is there a specific exception where if the duration of stay is less than 6 months on J1, the 2 year home residency rule does not apply? 2. What are my visa options to come back to pursue my career of getting into residency training in the US, if I quit my current position and go back to India? Please advice. Thank you. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Do your residency/Fellowship in J1 status and make contacts . A 2 year stay back home is not necessarily a problem. Link to comment
