My understanding is that one may have served some of the first one before the second one begins.

Thank you! I haven't completed the 2 year HRR for the first one yet. I just know that I am subject to it. That said, I want to learn whether there is any additional requirement from the second one. Do you have any idea how can I ask them to provide guidance on the second one separately?

Hi everyone, I’ve had two separate J-1 programs. • The first was government-funded, so I already know I’m subject to the 212(e) two-year home-residency rule. • For the second program, I would like to request an advisory opinion. The DOS instructions say to include every DS-2019 I’ve ever had. My concern is that if I send in the forms from the first program, the reviewer might simply decide I’m subject to 212(e) without looking closely at the second program. Or simply, the reviewer may not make separate evaluations for each program. Would it be acceptable to submit only the DS-2019s from the second program for the advisory opinion, or would that be considered misleading? Thanks for any advice!

Hello, I was on two different J1 programs. I completed the home residency requirement of the first program (Fulbright) and now I would like to apply for the waiver for the second program (not a government funding). Is there anything special I need to do in my waiver application in this special case of mine? Looking at the J1 waiver application instructions on USCIS, it looks like I fill out a web application that asks about all my past DS2019s and send no-objection letter from my home country. Would USCIS think that I also apply for a waiver for the first program that I already paid? How do they know I'm applying only for the second one?
