Default J1

I have already worked in the states on a J1 visa for 4 months in 2006. I have been offered another job and this time been offered a 12 month Training visa. Someone then told me i cannot have 2 J1 visa's in a short time, but someone else said you can have a maximum of 18 months within 3 years. Help im confused

Considering all your questions, isn't it worth a couple hundred $$ to get a lawyer helping with this?

I do not think that there is any requirement about the time between the two J1 visas,What do you consider short time?The last time you were here on a J1 visa was 2006, right?I personally know people who were here on J1 visas two consecutive summers. I really think you are fine about that.
