Does anyone have experience with the J-1 2 year requirement?

Specifically is it 2 years out of the US or 2 year directly in the home country?

Let's say, the person took 3 months of trips (to other countries besides the home or US) over the course of the past two years. Does that mean she can't get a K-1 visa until 27 months after leaving the US?

Or does the 2 year requirment only apply to the moment of adjusting status in the US? So the visa can be issues 25 months after leaving, enter the US on month 28 and adjust status after that?

I think it's called the 2 year HOME requirement rule, which would basically mean that you have to be in your country. You can try to waive the 2 year hrr by filling out the right paperwork for it but I don't have a link for that. Sorry.
