Hi all,
I am from Sydney, Australia. I had a J-1 visa in Feb 2006, but had to leave after 3 months due to an emergency and return home. As far as I know it was all fine with no problems returning. And the 2 HRR did not apply.
I am looking to travel to the US for 2 weeks in August. Do I need to go the Consulate and get approval? As I was under the impression that a J-1 forfeits your rights to the VWP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
