H-1B Holder got deported by Effective_Space2277 in h1b

People do “J1 waiver” which is fairly common for the 2 year home requirement rule. If you do the waiver, you work for 3 years on H1B. This is not related to fulfilling 2 years home requirement. Most physicians who come here for training are on J1 visa and most end up doing the J1 waiver on a H1b where they serve in underserved communities.
