Hello,
I am a doctoral student with a J-1 visa which comes with the 2 year residency requirement. I got a J-1 visa because I received Fulbright scholarship for my Masters degree (2000-2002). After finishing up my Masters degree, I decided to stay and pursue a doctorate degree (which isn't financially supported by Fulbright btw). During the past five years I've been in and out of the States visiting my home country. I was wondering if anyone knew if the days I spent in my home country during summer and holidays will count toward the 2 years.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,G
