Max amount of hours allowed on license for J1 visa

Hi Guys,

Just a bit about my situation. I'm beginning my training in Hawaii in Jan on a M1 visa as i'm a UK citizen. My plan is to get my ppl and as many hours on top as possible on the M1 before coming back to the UK and applying for a J1 which will allow me more time as an instructor to gain hours.
I know a few people have done this before and i know there is a limit to the amount of hours your allowed to already have on you license before applying for the J1. I've heard that its 150 hours but i've also heard that its your PPL +50 hours on top.
Can anyone give me the correct answer? And if there is anyone who has done the M1/J1 visa thing i would be really happy if they could contact me as i have a couple of questions

thanks
mike
