How so? I have a J-1 visa. It will be renewed for a year. Which means the institution I work for is willing to invite me for another year as a scholar. And I am willing to accept the invitation.
My boyfriend of 7 years and I are thinking of getting married, like any other couple. But I am NOT trying to re-enter the country just to get married.
Why would a J-1 visa be denied to me?
I guess I should change the title of the thread.
