Hi,
I got J1 short term visa on Apr 29, 2016 and left US and came back to India on July 29, 2016. The visa says Bearer is subject to 212(e).
1. If I stay in India until July 29, 2018, I understand the home residency requirement is waived. If I go to the US using B1/B2 visa for tourist/conference visit during this 2 year period, will that be counted as out of the country?
2. Does the 2 year residency requirement apply to work in Europe as well (Work visa)? Can I work in Europe even though I have J-visa restriction?
Thanks
Vijay
