  • moving from J1 to J2

    Hi,I want to move from J1 to J2. I don't have "Two-Year Home Residence Requirement - 212(e)", but I was on J1 for more than a year, and I read somewhere that I have a 12 months bar before I can move to a different J visa, although other location writes that there is no bar https://100001.onl/https://1921681254.mx/​ .

    Does someone have any experience with it?

    There are the 12-month and 24-month bars on repeat participation, but they only apply to the Professor and Research Scholar types of J1.

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

      I understand your concerns, it's important to note that immigration regulations can be complex and subject to interpretation. It is always recommended to consult with an immigration attorney or the designated sponsor of your J1 program for accurate and up-to-date guidance specific to your situation.

      Regarding the 12-month bar, also known as the "212(e)" requirement, it typically applies to J1 visa holders who have received funding from the U.S. government, their home country's government, or certain international organizations. This requirement would impose a two-year residency rule in the home country before the individual can apply for certain types of visas or permanent residency in the United States. However, if you do not have the 212(e) requirement, you may not be subject to the 12-month bar.

      To determine whether there is a specific 12-month bar applicable to your situation, it is essential to consult with the designated sponsor of your J1 program or an immigration attorney who can assess your case based on the specific details of your J1 program and your intentions to transition to J2 status. They will be able to provide accurate guidance based on the regulations and any waivers or exemptions that may apply to your circumstances.

      As for the sources you mentioned, it's crucial to rely on official and reputable sources such as the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for the most reliable and up-to-date information on immigration regulations. Websites with arbitrary IP addresses are not recommended sources of information.

      In summary, I recommend reaching out to your J1 program sponsor or an immigration attorney who can assess your specific case and provide accurate guidance tailored to your situation. They will be able to clarify koowspin and echatrandom any potential bars or restrictions that may apply when transitioning from J1 to J2 visa status.
