過去にもこのJ1visa2年ルールについては説明を書き込みましたが、国務省発行情報を手にしましたので、添付、紹介致します。 （基本的にこのルールが適用されるものは日米政府からの奨学金等を利用した方が対象ですが、スポンサー団体により適用された例が過去にも数点ありましたが、 判らない場合は『発行されたDS2019にこの２Year ruleが明記さています』ので、DS2019をチェックください。
Two-year Home-country Physical Presence (Foreign Residence) Requirement
When you agree to participate in an Exchange Visitor Program and your program falls under the conditions explained below, you will be subject to the two-year home-country physical presence (foreign residence) requirement. This means you will be required to return to your home country for two years at the end of your exchange visitor program. This requirement under immigration law is based on Section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and Title 22 Part 40 and Part 41 in the Code of Federal Regulations.

· Specialized knowledge or skill: Skills List - The exchange visitor is a national or permanent resident of a country which has deemed the field of specialized knowledge or skill necessary to the development of the country, as shown on the Exchange Visitor Skills List.
Change of Status and Waivers of Requirement - If the exchange visitor is subject to the two-year home-country physical presence (foreign residence) requirement, he or she cannot change his/her status to that of H, L, K, or immigrant lawful permanent resident (LPR) until he or she has returned to his/her home country for at least two-years or received a waiver of that requirement.
