Fulbright: FAQs
01Do I need to return to Pakistan after Fulbright?
Yes. Fulbright students travel on a J-1 visa, which normally requires two years in Pakistan after the programme before some US visas can be used.
02Can I choose my US university?
You list preferences, but placement is arranged through the programme based on your field and profile.
03Do I need a GRE?
Test requirements can change between cycles. Check USEFP’s current call before you register.
