International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the US Department of State and the US Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
November 11; 5:00–8:00pm
⇒ Student & Scholar Adivising ⇒ Faculty, Staff, & Visitors ⇒ J-1 Scholars ⇒ Twenty-four-month Bar on Repeat Program Participation
When an exchange visitor arrives in the US in J-1 status in the Research Scholar or Professor category, a 5-year eligibility “window” opens. When the program ends—5 weeks or 5 years later—the exchange visitor becomes subject to a 24-month bar on repeat participation as a J-1 exchange visitor in the Research Scholar or Professor categories.
This 24-month bar means that the exchange visitor will not be able to start a new Research Scholar or Professor program at any institution in the US until 2 years have passed from the completion date of the previous program. Those 2 years may be spent outside of the US, in the US in another J category, or in the US in another immigration status.
