Hello,
I am a permanent resident of Canada (just applied for Canadian Citizenship, but it will take around 8 months to get it) and about to apply for J1 visa to work as a postdoc at an university in USA. I wanted to know if the two year residency (after the completion of J1 project) at my home country applies to me or not. In other words, can I directly apply for H1 (provided I get an employer) or perm resident after the term with J1, based on my most recent country of legal permanent residence.
Thanks
