Is it possible for you to get your dream job in the United States through an Exchange Visa?

While on an Exchange Visitor Visa, you can look for jobs in the area of the university where you are taking the course. It’s possible that you’ll get a job offer at the university/facility where you’re studying, so make as many connections as you can to advance your career.

With the J1/J2 Visa, how long can you stay in the United States?

The length of time you can stay in the United States on a J-1 visa varies depending on your program, but it can be up to seven years in most cases. The duration of the J2 visa differs from that of the J1 exchange visa because J2 visa holders are allowed to stay for the same amount of time as J1 exchange visa holders. So, if their program is two years long, the holder of the J2 can stay for the entire two-year period or less.

J1 or F1 Visa: Which is Better? 

The decision to apply for an F-1 or J-1 visa is heavily influenced by your current situation as well as your future plans. As a student, both permits provide ideal opportunities to study without restrictions in the United States. The main distinction is whether you want to work before or after your studies, and how you want to work. The F-1 visa is usually the best option for this because it allows you to work in your field off campus and also allows you to work for one to two years after your studies are completed. In comparison, the J-1 only allows you to work on campus. For the F-1 visa, however, you must wait one year before being eligible for off-campus jobs.

What are the documents required for the J1 Visa?

A valid passport, SEVIS i-901 fee, insurance fee, the printed out DS-160 Form, the application fee receipt, a 2×2 photo of yourself, DS-2019 Form, or DS-7002 Form, depending on which program you applied for, are all required documents for the J1 Visa.

What is the total number of J1 visas that have been approved?

Because of the cultural diversity of the programs sponsored by US universities/private sectors, the number of J1 Visas continues to rise each year. So it’s no surprise that 350,000 J1 Visas were issued, with the majority of them coming from China, the United Kingdom, and Germany. They are about 80% percent under the age of 30 and 53 percent female!

A step-by-step guide to applying for a J1 visa!

First, you must select the type of J1 Visa program in which you wish to participate. Second, you locate a sponsor who will assist you in the application process. Finally, you must complete the DS-2019 Form and pay the SEVIS fee. Fourth, you must complete the DS-160, which is an online nonimmigrant application form. Finally, you arrange for an interview with the Embassy or Consulate.

Is it possible to change the status of your Exchange Visa?

If you marry a U.S. citizen or receive a job offer, you will be able to request a change in your nonimmigrant status through the Citizenship and Immigration Services in the United States (USCIS). There is no need to apply for a new Visa if your Visa status changes through the USCIS while you are in the country. If you leave the United States, however, you must reapply for a Visa in the appropriate category for your travel.

What should you do before submitting an application for a J1 visa?

You must first apply for and be accepted into an exchange visitor program through a designated sponsoring organization before applying for the J1 Visa at the US Embassy or Consulate. After that, you must check your passport’s validity, gather all required documents, and schedule an appointment with the Embassy/Consulate.
