Hello, fellow Blinders. I am going to be an intern at Facebook starting on June and I just got a host match at Google for the winter period (so I'll start my program ASAP). However, since I'm not a US citizen I don't know if it would be possible for me to get 2 J1 Visas with such a small window of time in between (I'd start with Google on mid February and will start with FB on June). I also heard you have to remain outside the US for a certain period of time after your Visa expires, but I couldn't find anything online. I'd really appreciate it if someone could shine some light onto this. #perm #j1visa #visa @google @facebook EDIT: in case someone else has this question, the US government can issue just one Visa for both internships if they are back to back and if the sponsorship company is the same (not the company you'll intern at, but the one sponsoring the Visa).
I didn't do back to back, but with 3 months gap in between. The home country residency requirement is known as 212e which is for 2 years. If you had this, it should be mentioned in the j1 visa.
Or there are ways to waive it. Just research op
