What is the J1 exchange visitor visa?
In the spirit of educational and cultural exchange between the United States and countries around the globe, the U.S. Department of State administers the Exchange Visitor Program to provide participants with opportunities for job training in their professional field for 3-18 months in the United States and then return home to share their experiences. The purpose of the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program is to provide participants with volunteer (or minimally paid) practical job training in the U.S. in a specific field of interest.
