Desired J-1 Scholar Category Selection Form
The Office of International Affairs will evaluate the information submitted by the host faculty/department to make the final
determination of the most appropriate J visa category for the scholar. Bryant University has authorization to issue DS-
2019s for professors and researchers in the “short-term scholar” and “research scholar/professor” J-categories.
Important Limitations to the Use of the J-1 Research Scholar/Professor Category: The following 12- and 24-month bar is
DIFFERENT from the 212(e) two year foreign residence requirement.
12-month bar: This limitation applies when the scholar has previously been in any J status for more than 6 month during
the 12 months prior to the new program start date in the J-1 Research Scholar/Professor category. The scholar must wait
for 12 months after the end of any J status before beginning another J-1 program in the research scholar/professor
category.
24-month bar: This limitation applies when the scholar already completed a J-1 program as a research scholar/professor. In
this case, the scholar will have to wait for 24 months to return to the US using a new J-1 program in the “research
scholar/professor” category. The 2 year home residency requirement is not the same as the 24 moth-bar.
Please mark the J-1 category the department would like to request:
J-1 Short-term Scholar: This category is appropriate for visiting scholars with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and
appropriate experience in the field in which research is to be conducted. This category is appropriate for professors,
research scholars or a person with similar education or accomplishments coming on a short-term visit (no longer than six
months) for the purpose of lecturing, observing, consulting, training or demonstrating special skills. The visit cannot be
extended past 6 months under any circumstances.
Advantage: Category does not subject the scholar to the 12- or 24-month bars. The scholar may return to the U.S. in a J
category again without waiting period.
Disadvantage: Program duration in this category is limited to 6 months without the possibility of extension.
J-1 Research Scholar– This category is appropriate for visiting scholars with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and
appropriate experience in the field in which research is to be conducted. This category is appropriate for conducting
research, observing or consulting in connection with a research project. The research scholar may also teach or lecture
within the same field, if the department appointment permits.
J-1 Professor – This category is appropriate for visiting scholars for the purpose of teaching, lecturing, observing or
consulting. A professor may also conduct research unless the sponsor does not allow it.
Important Note: A J-1 Research Scholar/Professor who has completed a previous J status (including J-2 status) in the past
might be affected by the 12- or 24-month bar. Please consult with the Office of International Affairs.
Advantage: The Research Scholar/Professor may stay in the J-1 program for up to 5 years, which allows sufficient time for a
full postdoctoral appointment or other long-term, temporary research or teaching appointments.
Disadvantage: Once the research scholar/professor completes his or her program at any point up to 5 years, there is a 24-
month bar that will prevent the scholar from using this category again for 24 months. In addition, if the scholar has been in
any other J category for 6 months or more (for example, short-term scholar or specialist), he or she cannot use the
Research Scholar/Professor category until 12 months have passed since last using the J-1 status.
