J-1 Waiver of the Two-Year Home Residency Requirement (INA §212(e))

If you are subject to the J-1 two-year home residency requirement and want to remain in the United States or change your status, a J-1 Waiver may help. This waiver allows certain individuals to request a waiver of the 212(e) requirement based on specific eligibility categories.

 

We begin with a short questionnaire to better understand your situation. These questions help us evaluate your eligibility, identify the most appropriate waiver category, and guide you through the J-1 Waiver process the right way—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
