Hello and thank you for the great information. Where would one start? I have a friend's son that would like to study here in the US for one year of HS.

Thank you for the information! I had a R-J1 visa for less than 3 months. I have the 2-year rule because my finances came from my government. Now, I have been selected for a postdoc. Can I apply for a second J1 without applying for a waiver? If I need to apply for a waiver, the university can not wait for me more than six months. Is it possible to obtain the waiver in less time? My previous scholarship does not require me to homestay. Thank you for your appreciated help!

Do you have to be a uni student? Would an educator with a long vacation in their homeland be eligible? Also what's a visa waiver country?

What is the placement payment process?and how will be my salary processegur?

He ma´am I had my visa interview and my visa was approved but when I recieved my visa yesterday I noticed that they issued my visa for 5 years which is weird because it normally can not be over 4 months or so(the rest of the information is correctly). Also, they did not sign my ds2019 so there is not a sign on the part that says "signature of consular or immigration officer" and I do not know if that could be a problem when going to the USA. can you help me with any information
