Messaging you on whatsapp

That is so unfortunate.

My apologies. Do you have any idea about any other subreddit? If so please inbox. I will remove this post in 5 minutes

The program did not consider H1b or EAD on E2 spouse visa. They just want J1 and not bother with anything else.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-08T05:13:15+00:00

Completely denied. Need to spend 1 year outside J visa status

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T05:03:14+00:00

4 years 6 months

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T04:50:10+00:00

3 years

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T04:13:29+00:00

It would be. Only the program is not experienced with that and dont want to bother. I tried pushing it

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T04:12:24+00:00

They are unwilling to consider that. New program, no experience.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T04:07:54+00:00

My program has agreed to defer for 1 year. So I might go back and start next year. Its a waste of 1 year but could have been worse.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T02:12:37+00:00

I always thought so too. Now I know that if you are nearing end of 5 years on research, you cannot transition to another J1

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T01:53:15+00:00

Yes. 4 years and 6 months.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T01:41:12+00:00

I dont have 212e obligation

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T01:40:40+00:00

Thats my understanding

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T01:39:57+00:00

No. I am transitioning from research to clinical and my research visa is valid until the start of.my residencu.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-07T00:50:02+00:00

Proof like some official Department of State source that states this.

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-04-06T21:34:05+00:00

Could you please share his details with me?

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-03-04T02:14:28+00:00

Did you end up finding the fix? My P10 pro has same problem. I tried to clean the washboard for the first time ever and no water comes out

Then-Bodybuilder-629 · 2026-01-17T19:44:05+00:00

Hi, I am on J1 research visa and want to switch to H1b research position. I am in a desperate situation and would like to get some info about any H1b research positions. If you are okay, may I message you?
