| What is the Foreign Residence Requirement? |
Exchange visitors are nonimmigrants (J-1 visa holders) who participate in the Exchange Visitor Program. This program, which is administered by the Bureau of Consular Affairs , seeks to promote peaceful relations and mutual understanding with other countries through educational and cultural exchange programs. Accordingly, many exchange visitors entering the United States are subject to a requirement that they return to their home country to share with their countrymen the knowledge, experience and impressions gained during their stay in the United States. |
