Members don't see this ad.

hey, does anybody know whether we can study here on J2 visa status? (i mean - in this programs for foreign trained dentist,advanced standing) Or it is mandatory for us to have a student visa....

For J visa,you have to have a major part of the program fees funded by either a fellowship or grant etc. Since this is not so in case of the advanced Standing Prog, you cannot study on J-1 visa.

About J-2,call up the local SEVIS office and ask then,coz you can study on H-4 visa.

But all in all,I think you are better off getting a F-1!

J-2 is a dependent on J-1, which by the way is a bad visa for physicians because of 2 year HRR.
I am pretty sure that you can study on J-2. You can start the school and you can change the visa afterward, if you want.
