  • An Urgent Queston about the two years rrequirements

    Dear immihelp,


    My question is regarding the two year foreign residence requirement under U.S. law. I have studied my PhD in Italy and I traveled for 10 months to US in February 2012 in a j1 visa and the two year rule has been applied to me because in the US consulate in Italy they mentioned that the Italian government is funding my travel to US, (Italy paid 500 euro per month for accommodation only). I am not Italian, I am Egyptian. I finished my PhD in Italy in 2013 returned to my home country. One month ago I got a postdoctoral position at one of the US Universities and they sent me the I-797B approval notice which is approved by the USCIS with a three year period of the H1B visa.

    My question is, should I get a waiver for the two years requirement ?, however I am outside US more than 3 years ago and I reside in Egypt with no connection with Italy now. Is the I-797B approval by USCIS is enough as they already received my visa history document.
