Why is there a J-1 Program? And, why is there a "2 Year Home Residency Requirement" that forces the J-1 visa holder to return home for 2 years at the conclusion of the J-1? How does "Government Funding" of the J-1 Program make a difference in what is required of the J-1 visa holder? What is the "Skills List" and how does it make a difference in what a J-1 visa holder needs to do? And why, exactly, does almost every J-1 visa holder seem surprised buy this "2 year rule?" To get the answer to these questions, and more, check out this video. Be an informed consumer! DO NOT simply "jump" into a J-1 Program without first doing some homework!
