Hello all,
I am in the USA for a 6 months stay in a university as a research
scholar with a J1 Visa. I got private grants but unfortunately they
have been written as governmental fundings on my IAP66 form and as I
was told that explains why I have a 2 years rule condition on my Visa.
I try to get information about this rule because I would like to do a
phD in the USA in 2002 and I don't know if I will have to stay 2 years
in Switzerland before that. I was told that with a student Visa I
could enter before for doing the phD but then I will have to complete
the 2 year rule after that and not be able to work of do a post doc.
Does anybody know exactlyu how it works and how I can get rid of it. I
can ask my grants to give evidence they are not related to
governmental funding but I do not know about the exact procedure. Does
it help if I get married in the USA in order to avoid the rule?
I hope you can give me some information. Thanks to all.
Nadia
