@baboonz

You're Canadian too right? Yeah we don't need a visa to enter the US as a Canadian. We can enter the US on B2 visa for 6 months per year.

Yes we can only enter on J1 after June 1st, because our start date is July 1st (check your contract for start date of training - NOT orientation)


@iscored : you're wlecome anytime!
