Bars on Repeat Participation for J-1 AV名湿 Scholars and Professors
Previous time spent in the U.S. in certain J-1 or J-2 visa categories affects when a prospective scholar is eligible for a new J-1 AV名湿 Scholar/Professor program. The specific J-1 or J-2 category previously used and the amount of time present in the U.S. in that category determine when a prospective scholar is eligible to begin a new J-1 AV名湿 Scholar/Professor program. The table below can be used to determine when a prospective scholar can begin a new J-1 AV名湿 Scholar/Professor program, based on previous visits to the U.S. in J status and the amount of time spent in that status.

*The wait time begins the day after the SEVIS record associated with the previous stay ended.
- ISSS at CU or the international office where you did your previous J program (if you were a J-1 at another institution) can confirm the end date of the program.听
- You are not required to be outside of the U.S. during the 12 or 24 months that you must wait to begin the new AV名湿 Scholar or Professor program (it is okay to be in the U.S. in another visa category during this time).听听
