    Hi Guys, Going to be a bit of a chancer on this one..

    Anyone have any idea on what the definition of "within one year of graduation" actually means?

    I graduated back in 2006 for my BA but Trinity College allow graduates after three years to upgrade their BA to an MA(whether or not this is ridiculous is certainly a valid discussion but they have this option). http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055828352

    If I decided to pay Trinity for the MA, there is a graduation ceremony and I believe I "graduate" as a masters student, despite having not taken a lecture since 2006.

    Is there any chance this would allow me to take the one year J1 as I will then have "graduated" as an MA in 2015?

    Needless to say I am quite keen to go to US and finding it hard to get there by the visa sponsorship route..

    In order to qualify for the programme you must have completed your course through classroom based learning on a full or part-time basis.

    Well arguably the masters is for classroom learning I did back in 2006, but I think I am looking for a loophole here that wouldnt stand up to any real scrutiny
