Ann chose not to renew her last year's contract in the J1 program.
The J1 program is good for three years with a possibility to be renewed for 1-2 more years. Please check this site to know more - Realities of the J1 Visa.
WHY?
Ann stayed in the US and didn't go home for any vacations for four (4) years.
She saved EVERYTHING (she didn't travel a lot and only visited a few states with friends, used carpool, & shared a room with co-teachers), and now she's back home - financially ready!
We're happy you chose well, Ann!
God speed!
