我是准备去美国读MBA,所在公司出了资助证明,负责学费生活费,并要求我毕业后回公司服务。目前,学校已选定,可是学校的国际业务办公室老师非要给我DS-2019 去申请J-1签证。而我个人理解的是,J-1是访问学者,我是去读全职MBA的,但是几经沟通还是无果,对方还是坚持认为我应该是J-1,不是F-1,并说已经咨询了几家学校。并附上了这样的话"According to the regulations, any student that is receiving a substantial amount of funding from any source other than personal funding, then you are required to enter the country as a J student. I do know that there are a lot of schools that do not have access to the J Program, so that might explain why a lot of your colleagues received I-20 forms to apply for an F-1 visa."
头大啊,真不知道这个J-1是否恰当?还望有经验的兄弟姐妹帮帮忙,J-1和F-1签证区别大吗?我再怎么去沟通呢?感觉这老美是坚定的认为我是J-1了。
感谢你的帮助。 |
