J1 2 yr Rule: What does 'cumulative' mean?
The 2 yr rules does apply to me. I am planning to get a tourist visa stamp which usually is for 10 years. Does it mean I can go to US on a tourist visa, stay 6 months in CA with my fiancé, then come back to my home country, spend 2 months, and go back to US for another 6 months for another cycle. Possible?
If I do it this way, does my 2-3 month stay in my home country count towards my mandatory "2 years in home country"? I have already clocked up 6 months in my home country. I'm trying to ask if the smallest number of days also count towards the Rule.
If yes, how do I show proof for that?
Also, for the last 6 months, I couldn't not get a proper job and I live with my parents. So I don't have any document showing a regular address is being used. But on my passport, I have no proof of travelling anywhere since returning from US. Will this suffice?
I am still planning to do this, haven't started yet. Please also tell me if there are any negative repercussions.
