hi!

my husband (j1) and i (j2) want to travel to our home country and stay for about 6 weeks. the sponsor organization says my husband can only stay for a maximum period of 30 days!!?? this would be a rule of the state department.

Is this true? I couldn't verify it anywhere!

And what about j2? if he really has to go back to US after 30 days, do I have to as well?

thanks for your answers!
