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.
Is it possible for J1 visa holders to apply for a green card?
Yes, you can change your status from a J1 visa to a green card, though not everyone who has a J1 visa is eligible for a green card.
To receive a J1 visa, you must first demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country and that you intend to return there once your J1 visa expires.
After that, in order to receive a green card, the alien must file an I-140 petition with the USCIS.
After that, you must apply for an Adjustment of Status (AOS) or an immigrant 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.
What are the distinctions between the J1 and F1 visas?
Both Visas provide excellent opportunities for international students to advance their skills.
The F1 Visa is for students who want to finish their degree, while the J1 Visa is for students, researchers, trainees, and others who want to improve their skills and gain experience in the United States.
They also differ in terms of funding, requirements, and on-campus versus off-campus work.
A J1 Visa allows you to work only for the organization to which you applied, whereas an F1 Visa allows you to work part-time on and off campus!
What questions are asked during the J1 Visa interview?
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?
Are you traveling with friends and family?
Have you ever been to the United States before?
and a lot more!
What Are the J1 Visa’s Additional Requirements?
Even if you submit all of the required documents to the embassy/consulate, they may request additional documentation.
They primarily ask for evidence of the following:
the reason for your trip to the United States,
the purpose of your departure from the United States after your trip,
and financial proof that you can cover the entire cost of your trip for Exchange Visitor Visa applicants.
What are the requirements for an Exchange Visitor 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, and the DS-7002 Form, depending on which program you applied for, are all required documents for each Exchange Visitor Visa.
All of the above documents, as well as the I-94 document and the birth/marriage certificate, are required for the J2 Visa.
What are the requirements for J1 Visa hosts?
Because they provide the actual training, internship, or education program, the hosts are one of the most important parts of the J1 Visa process.
They can be a business, school, or other institution in the United States, and in order to be considered a host, they must have the necessary equipment, facilities, and personnel to provide the J1 Visa holders with the best possible experience.
