I was a j1 trainee thrice. lifting 2 year residency condition was a prerequisite for h1b. Clearing it was a beurocratic but straightforward process which involved mailing some papers to my own country's consulate. It probably depends on the origin country, but for me since my funding was given by the us school i was interning at, and since there was no involvement of my government, it was rather straightforward.
Good thing that is all over now :)
- binoct 10y agoGlad it all worked out for you! I would definitely recommend any J1 candidate take a careful look to the 2-year residency requirements and their particular situation. Sometimes it is relatively painless paperwork to have it waved, however in some situations they can pretty seriously enforce it.
