Repeat Participation in the Internship and Training Program

It is possible to do additional internship or trainee programs as long as you meet some conditions. Any additional program must expose you to new skills, tasks and responsibilities, while still providing you with a training opportunity. In most cases, you are generally not permitted return to the same host employer, but this may be possible in some circumstances. Contact us to discuss further if this applies. Additional requirements are below. 

Repeat requirements for interns:

  • You are still a current student or within one year of graduation.
  • You return to your home country to complete a semester of school before applying for another internship.

Repeat requirements for trainees:

  • You reside outside of the U.S. for at least 2 years after the end of your previous J-1 internship or trainee program. This is required of all participants, and it applies specifically to applying for an additional Trainee visa – not other visa types or categories. Note that this rule is separate from Section 212(e).
