F1 Visa Application Requirements
Summary
If you have a prior J1 visa with a two-year home-country physical presence requirement, you must fulfill this or obtain a waiver to apply for an F1 visa. Without completing this requirement or securing a waiver, you cannot study in the US on an F1 visa. Consulting an immigration lawyer can help navigate the waiver process. Applying for another J1 visa is possible, but the two-year requirement still applies.Full Conversation

You can apply for another J1 visa after your current J1 visa, but you'll still be subject to the two-year home-country physical presence requirement after each J1 visa. If you haven't completed the requirement from your first J1 visa, you'll need to do so or obtain a waiver before applying for any new visa.
