This is what is commonly known as Two Year Rule or 212(e) which is applicable to few different situations, e.g. if you get a grant from your government for your training or your profession is on your home country's skill list. It's also pretty random and I for example was stamped with the rule but many countries issues "no objection" letters which allow you to waive the requirement. Two year rule does only affect some visa types, such as H1b but not O1 or J1 visas.

- jlees 13y agoThe visa types it affects are generally those which allow immigrant intent. Non-immigrant intent visas are OK. The principle is that you're here for specialised training, and have to take the knowledge home before immigrating. But yeah, just check the small print (as with any immigration situation!).
