Are you able to renew your J-1 Visa status?
From the IRS:
"There is a limit on the number of years a J-1 alien can be considered an “exempt individual” student, teacher, or trainee and exclude U.S. days of presence for purposes of the Substantial Presence Test. The time limit depends on whether the J-1alien entered the United States as a “student” for the purpose of studying at an academic or vocational institution or as a “teacher or trainee” for the purpose of teaching, conducting research, or receiving on the job training.
Teacher or trainee – two calendar year rule:
- Generally, a J-1 alien cannot exclude U.S. day of presence as a “teacher or trainee” for more than two calendar years.
- Four year exception: Subject to certain conditions, the two-year teacher or trainee limit can be extended up to four calendar years.
However, unlike the student limit which is a lifetime limit, the teacher or trainee limit can be renewed. For detailed information, see Exempt Individuals in Teachers and Trainees."
