[doudou75012 0]

Oh, I thought you have been back in the US since 2009. So you worked in France from 2008-2011? Then all you need to show is that you were in France for 2 years. It won't matter if you were eligible or not, because if you were eligible, you fulfilled the requirement.

So it is true you worked in France for 2 years?

I came back in 2009 2weeks for the Christmas holidays, with a tourist visa.

But the J1 was with ISEP and I just saw that on their website:

Because the administration of ISEP is not funded by the U.S. government, the DS-2019s issued by ISEP will indicate that you have not received support from the U.S. government. In the majority of cases, therefore, the consular officer will indicate in Section II of your DS-2019 (lower left-hand corner) that you are not subject to the requirement (unless you are subject for other reasons).

So I think I will be fine, I will jsut tell my mom to look for this DS2019 and if she can't I will send them other evidences...

Thank you guys...This forum is the greatest

I agree with previous poster. If you returned to your country for 2 years, all you have to do is prove it. I know someone who had to prove it, and this person had to show lease and employment verification. Maybe bills of utilities in your name with your local address. Start collecting documents!

Good news is that, if this is case, then you can comply to their RFE and not get denied.

Edit to reflect new post info: even better if you are not subject
