J1 Visa Status

Hey everyone,

I'm curious for those that have gone through the J1 visa process for interning at a BB, what are the specific requirements for the students? For example, if you are on a leave of absence from your college/university are you eligible for the J1? I will be taking some time off from school in my home country for personal reasons this year and I was curious if that would make me ineligible to apply to US based internships because I suppose I'm not technically "enrolled" in classes. Anybody have experience with this?
