Всем Research Scholar кто на J-1
С 4 ноября вводятся новые правила. Всем J Professors and Research Scholars максимальный период действия J-1 визы продлевается до 5 лет.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS, RIGHT?
While the extension of the maximum duration of stay from three years to five years is very positive news, the new regulation also contains many provisions that are more restrictive and quite complex and confusing. Specifically, it is our understanding, based upon the information shared during the conference call, that any J-1 Research Scholar or Professor who enters the US after the implementation of the new regulation on or around November 4, 2006, will be subject immediately to a new "24-month bar." This "24-month bar" means, for example, that if a J-1 Research Scholar or Professor enters the US on December 1, 2006 and engages in a J-1 program at Pitt for 1 year, completes the program, and then leaves the US, he/she will not be able to return to the US for another J-1 Research Scholar or Professor program until he/she has been outside of the US for 24 months. Basically, this new rule institutes a 5-year "use or loose" window effective on the program start date. This assumes that a J-1 Research Scholar or Professor will actively pursue their activities for a 5-year window. If they choose to end their program earlier than the maximum 5 years, they cannot return to the US in J-1 Research Scholar or Professor category, and thus open another 5-year window, until they have been out of the use for 24 months. So, again, it is important to note that the five-year period is not an aggregate of five years. It is a continuous five-year period given to a participant on a "use or lose" basis.
IS THE "24-MONTH BAR" THE SAME THING AS THE "TWO-YEAR HOME COUNTRY PHYSICAL PRESENCE REQUIREMENT"?
No. This "24-month bar" or "2-year bar" applies to movement into a J-1 program after having already participated in a J-1 program. It is different from the two-year home country physical presence requirement, commonly referred to as 212(e), which prevents movement into H, L, or LPR classifications. J-1 Research Scholars and Professors are still eligible to apply for waivers of 212(e) and thereby move into H-1B status, for example.

Ну, это не совсем новшество, раньше был год. Когда у меня заканчивалась программа (у шефа не было денег), мне в International Students Service нашего yниверситета сказали, что я могу сделать трансфер, но если я уеду домой я не смогу податься на другую программу раньше чем через год. Было это год назад.
В любом случае "гуд ньюз" это то, что теперь можно 5 лет сидеть на Джей-1, за пять лет, можно приобрести хороший стаж с приличными публикациями и найти работу, где тебе сделают трансфер на Н1-би, либо с большей вероятностью подать документы на грин-карт.

Дополнение:
The 5-Year Period and 24-Month Bar do not apply to other J categories. Therefore, International Students & Scholars who wish to return to the US without waiting 24 months, may do so on other visa types or in other J categories (i.e. : Short Term Scholar, J–2 Dependent, J Student) based on their eligibility.
