between point 4 and point 5. It has to be either one and not both.

So i guess for all of us on J1 . . . the DS 2019 will say the stiphend we gonna receive.

someone said that the offer letter is good enough. What other docs(financial) do we need to prove that we would be returning back once the residency/fellowship is completed?

can the one apply without Evidence of financial resources?? Is a letter from the hospital telling that they will pay for me a salary enough for the embassy???
