Dear all

There's no similar situation after searching the threads. Mine is peculiar and hope to get your advise.
I came to US with J1 scholar subject to two years home residency. When the first program was finished, I was granted for another J1 student visa for Ph.D program fully funded by US university as research assistant. On that Visa, it also indicated the bearer subject to two years home residency. After the second J1 was terminated, I went back to my home country to fulfill the two years requirement.

My question here is when the clock started since I travelled back several month after my first J1. The end of the first J1 or the second J1?

In addition, I'm assuming I only need to stay two years in total even two back-to back J1 are subject to "two years residency" .

Thanks
