In a J1 Visa interview, what kind of questions are asked?
The majority of questions asked during the J1 Visa interview will be about your occupation and plans to visit the United States.
Why do you want to go to the United States?
What are your plans in the United States?
What do you study/work?
What are your future plans?
What are your rights as an employee in the United States?
and more!
Is it possible for J1 visa holders to switch to a different visa category?
If J1 visa holders wish to change or switch to another category, they must do so in a category that is related to their purpose of visit and the switch must be necessary due to the circumstances.
Who is the most likely to apply for a J1/J2 visa?
Applicants for J1/J2 Visas come from all over the world, which is why this type of Visa is so popular.
The majority of J1 Visa applicants come from China (40,000 applicants), the United Kingdom (20,000), and Germany (around 300,000 exchange visitors per year) (with about 20,000).
What is the J2 Visa and who is eligible to apply for it?
A family member (your spouse) who is a J1 Visa applicant or holder is required to apply for the J2 Visa.
Only a few people in your relative’s circle are eligible to apply even if they have a J1 Visa.
You can apply for the non-immigrant dependent Visa if you are their spouse or a minor child under the age of 21 who is not married.
Why is there such a high number of J1/J2 applicants?
The United States is a fascinatingly diverse country that provides many opportunities for international students to study, trainees to find work, and everyone to participate in exchange programs.
It’s no surprise that there are a large number of J1/J2 Visa applicants each year, and that the number continues to rise!
How do I get a J1 Visa?
Before you can apply for this Visa, you must first decide which J1 Visa program you want to participate in.
Then you’ll need a sponsor to assist you with the application process.
They will provide you with the DS-2019 Form and the SEVIS Fee.
After that, you must fill out the DS-160 online nonimmigrant visa application and schedule an interview with the Embassy or Consulate.
What documents are required for the interview for an Exchange Visa?
A valid passport, the printed DS-160 Form, the SEVIS i-901 fee, the insurance fee, the application fee receipt, a 2×2 photo of yourself, the DS-2019 Form, and the DS-7002 Form, depending on which program you applied for, are all required documents to apply for J Visas at the embassy/consulate.
Keep in mind that you’ll also need the I-94 document and your birth/marriage certificate if you’re applying for a J2 Visa.
How long does the J1 visa take to obtain?
The average time it takes to apply for and be accepted for a J-1 Visa is six to eight weeks.
This procedure can take anywhere from one day (if you apply in person) to four weeks or more, depending on the consulate or embassy where you apply.
We recommend that you submit your application for J-1 sponsorship to CICD well in advance of the desired start date of your training to avoid any delays.
