Do you mean 2005 instead 2002? If yes, he can use his J-1 visa to enter USA if this is a multiple visa (letter 'M' on the visa sticker in the passport) and only for purposes of the J-1 program described in his form DS-2019 (or IAP-66). Other words he cannot use this visa for other purposes (business, visit you, pleasure etc.) About Two-Year Home Residence Requirement (Section 212(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act) please read this forum.
