I am currently in the US as a J-1 visa holder, and I am applying for a researcher visa in Germany soon.
I have noticed that in the visa application form there is a field for "residence permit number" and the corresponding expiration date, but I am unsure as to what to write in that field, since the visa itself and the DS-2019 have different number and different expiration dates.
Could anyone inform me which of them is expected in the form?
PS: As I did not intend to travel outside the US, my visa itself is currently expired. My DS-2019 is, of course, still valid.
