A few weeks ago, we had made a video about the challenges of J1 and F1 visa holders in the United States. As of today, December 9, 2024 - The U.S. Department of State has announced a major update to the Exchange Visitor Skills List. This is the first significant revision in 15 years and removes the two-year home-residency requirement for J-1 visa holders from 34 countries, including China, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. These changes have profound implications for individuals, employers, and U.S. innovation.

The two-year home-residency requirement applies to certain J exchange visitors, who must live in their home country after their exchange program ends. This requirement applies to change of status to H or L status, becoming a lawful permanent resident, or receiving an H, L, K, or immigrant visa. However, there are some exceptions, such as the Conrad State 30 Program, which allows waivers for foreign physicians who provide medical services in underserved areas.

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask for a quick favor!

I’m working on something exciting with my team - we’re building a platform that connects researchers and industry folks with some awesome collaboration opportunities like freelancing, consulting, and knowledge sharing.

I would love it if you could help us out by sharing your thoughts through a short 5 minute survey we’ve put together.

Who should participate?

πŸ”¬ Researchers looking to explore industry/academic projects
πŸ’Ό Industry professionals with expertise to share
🀝 Anyone interested in bridging academia and industry

Here is the survey link: forms.gle/Hbf45rwznZctKDUM6

Your input will be incredibly helpful in shaping this platform. We're trying to create something that actually works for real people, not just another tech solution nobody asked for. πŸ˜…

If you could take a few minutes to fill this out, I'd be super grateful. If you know anyone else who might be interested, feel free to pass this along. The more, the merrier!

Thank you very much! Your help means a lot!

Hi folks, there are lots of you who have joined recently and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to you. πŸ‘‹ My name is Arpita Sharma, and I'm an experienced data analyst, and emerging artist and filmmaker with a focus on social impact. I have a masters in public policy and urban planning and I started this podcast to have in-depth conversations with people who are focused on making a social impact in their lives and are also fellow South Asians.



πŸŽ₯ On this channel, you can expect to find my latest podcast episodes, reels, and soon to come YouTube videos about interesting topics around South Asian history, culture, and more.



🌍 I believe in the importance of learning from the experiences and wisdom of those who are actively trying to change the world, and I'm excited to embark on this journey with all of you.



πŸ’¬ I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to drop a comment introducing yourself or sharing any ideas or topics you'd like to see on this channel. Your feedback means the world to me, and I can't wait to create content that resonates with each and every one of you.



πŸ”” Don't forget to hit that notification bell so you never miss an update, and let's build an amazing community together!



Thank you for being here, and I can't wait to share this adventure with all of you!

Warm regards,
Arpita
