两年外国居留要求(212[e])

在特定情况下, a J-1 exchange visitor may incur a Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement. The J-2 dependents are subject to this same requirement if the J-1 visa holder is subject to the requirement. This means that neither the J-1 nor the J-2 may change immigration status to H, L, or Permanent Residency without first returning to his/her country for two years or obtaining a waiver of this requirement. If the Two-Year Foreign Residency requirement applies, change of status to another non-immigrant classification, 比如F-1, 在美国.S. 是被禁止的. 如果个人受此要求的约束, the J-1 visa stamp or DS-2019 form will indicate that the bearer is subject to "212(e)." If you belong to one of the following categories, you are most likely subject to this requirement at the end of your J-1 program:

• Medical doctor sponsored by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG)
• 你来自美国的一个国家.S. 国务院"交流访问者技能清单"
• You receive funding from your home country government or from the U.S. 政府通过富布赖特等机构

The Two-Year Foreign Residence requirement will not prevent you from re-entering the U.S. 和一个F-1学生, b - 1 / b - 2(旅游), or J-1 student visa (or some other categories) in the future, but it will prevent you from getting an H-1B (non-immigrant employment visa) or Permanent Resident status unless the 2 year requirement is either fulfilled or waived.
