Hi guys,
If you complete residency on a J1 visa you have to go back to your home country for two years if you don´t get a waiver...
Will I be able to go back to the US to practise medicine after having spent two years in my home country? Will someone want to sponsor a greencard for me? Will it be easy to find a job two years after completing residency? (Of course I would work as a doctor in my home country while spending those two years there)
Happy New Year to you all!

hej men hej! en svensk lakare! God Jul och Gott Nytt Ar!
Don't worry of what is gonna happen 4 years later; most residents are in the same situation with you and the vast majority manage to stay here without going back home for two years. Think of fellowships, switching from one type of visa to another one, etc.

You have to do the waiver even if you marry a citizen unless you could prove that the migration would impose tremendous hardship on the spouse.But of course you could get into fellowships ( have to start applying 2nd year itself because fellowships app process is 1 and half yrs typically)
You cant switch from J1 to H1 without a waiver job.
Getting a job aftre say fellowships while in your home country will be extremely difficult.So look to getting a waiver job.This is in the course of events that you choose to stay here and not go back to your home country. If you do....well then its perfect if you are on a J1.

So, if you are on J1 and get selected in the GC lottery, you can change from J1 to GC with no problems at all and you avoid the 2 year in home country? I thought the only way to avoid those 2 years was with a waiver or filing for hardship.

lottery won't solve J1 waiver. That two years of going home or waiver still apply. I hope the same too, but unfortunately that already binds you for J1. Good luck!

I agree with kca. Even if you have a GC the 2 year home requirement DOES apply!! Only thing that helps is a waiver, which is very easy to get, so don't worry. Check with your home-country's embassy regarding the waiver requirements.
Good Luck!
