About 2 years home residency

[therapy111]

I am still on J1 visa. I visited my home country during my J1 program.

Are these periods deducted from my two home residency requirement?

In other words, if I spent two months in my home country will these two months be deducted from the 24 months

Yes. of course. but it's still far from necessary.

the time spent at home AFTER the completion of J-1 program counts.
