Respected forum members,
I was in US from Dec 19 to Mar 20 on J1-Cultural Exchange Program stamped with 2 year mandatory home stay. Now, I’m back to India, and the University in US is asking me to come back on a new J1. Do I need a waiver if I apply for a new J1 visa?
I couldn’t find a solid answer on this yet. The immigration website says waiver is needed to change Visa status or apply for visa in other category but no answer if I apply for new J1.
Awaiting for a response as I couldn’t get specific answer from anywhere.
Regards
Dr. Negi
