With a J1 visa, how long can you stay in the United States?

The exchange visitors’ stay in America is limited because the J1 Visa is a temporary nonimmigrant visa. The length of a participant’s stay varies depending on the J-1 visa type, and can range from a few weeks to several years. Although short-term scholars can stay for as little as a day, doctors can stay in the United States for up to seven years. J1 visa holders who fall under the Travel and Summer Work category are allowed to stay in the United States for up to 30 days after completing their work program. They are not allowed to work during this time, but they are free to travel.
