Applying B2 visa after going back from J1 program
Hi! I previously participated in Work and Travel program under J1 visa last March-May 2016. After my program, I graduated college and applied another J1 visa but for internship this time which lasted from August 2017-August 2018 and I also spent my grace period to travel around the states. So I left the US by September 2018.

I am planning to reapply a B2 Visa this June but I’m a little worried that it might be too soon for me to apply since it has only been 9 months since I got back to my country.

Profile: 22 years old, Single, Self-Employed
Country: Philippines
Earns an average of $1000 USD/month (converted)
Lives with family (I have no relatives in the US)
Purpose of travel: Visit friends and travel more since I wasn’t able to travel a lot during my internship (worked 40hours/week so I barely traveled)
Travel History: US (Twice), Hong Kong, Macau, Puerto Rico
Never been denied a visa

What do you think are my odds? Has anyone experienced applying a B2 visa after completing a J1 program?

Looking forward to your opinions!
