What are the differences between the J1 and J2 Visa Application?
The requirements are essentially the same:
a valid passport, a SEVIS i-901 fee, an insurance fee, a printed DS-160 Form, an application fee receipt, and a 2×2 photograph of yourself.
J1 Visa applicants must submit the DS-7002 Form, depending on which program they applied for, and J2 Visa applicants must submit the DS-7002 Form, depending on which program their J1 Visa holder applied for, as well as the I-94 document and birth/marriage certificate.
