Twelve-month Bar

Any individual who has been in the United States for more than six months in the previous year in J-1 status is not eligible to enter the US as a J-1 Research Scholar or Professor for a 12-month period.  Time spent in the J-1 Short-term Scholar category does not count towards the 12-month bar.  Individuals subject to the 12-month bar may return to the US in another visa type or as a J-1 in another category such as Short-term Scholar or Student.
