hello everyone, been reading with great interest all the posts here..and decided to turn to you for advice. I am a graduate student on a Fulbright program. I received all the funding from US State Department e.g. my government has nothing to do with paying my tuition here. I wonder how high my chances are to get a 2-year home requirement waiver? The main reason I want to do it is because I am currently involved in a very interesting research which is specific to the USA only. There is absolutely no way for me to continue this research in my home country. If I build my statement on need based on this fact, do you think I can still get it even being a Fulbrighter?? thank you for your comments.
