Abhinav14 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi all, I got the opportunity to come to US to do an MS on J1 visa. Right after MS, I started working and in the meantime got a J-1 Waiver. Now got H1 b visa approved. I am currently filling DS- 160 and saw this question : "are you a former exchange visitor (j) who has not yet fulfilled the two year foreign residence requirement?" What should I answer to this question: Yes: (because I haven't properly been home for 2 years) and then mention that I got a waiver and provide the waiver approval number or No: Because I'm technically no longer required to fulfill that rule Thanks, Link to comment
MurthyIndia_Lawyer Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 You will have to mark YES and explain you received the waiver, as you have not met the 2 year residency requirements. Link to comment
