Two-Year Residency Requirement

The two-year home country physical presence requirement requires exchange visitors who are subject to the two-year home country residence requirement to return to their “home” countries and be physically present there for two years before being eligible for immigrant status, an H visa, or an L visa.  Exchange visitors subject to the requirement are not eligible to change to permanent resident status or any other non-immigrant category (except A and G) while in the US

An exchange visitor may request that the 2-year home country physical presence requirement be waived.  Information regarding the waiver process is available on the US State Department website.
