Hi,

Thank you for reading my post.

I want to take a short term (10 months) research position from the U. S. national institutes of health. It is the US government funding. But I am told that they can only apply for J1 visa for me.

My citizenship is the P.R. China, and I am holding the Canadian Permanent residence. I am now in the USA holding H4 visa. I WAS holding J1 visa before my current H4 visa, and I already got the waiver fot that J1 visa.

May I ask whether there is a 2-year home country residence requirement for this J1 visa, even though it is such a short period of time?

Thanks a lot.
