What are the documents required for the J1 Visa? A valid passport, SEVIS i-901…

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.
