Who runs the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program?
The J-1 program is run by the Department of State. However, much of the program literature still refers to the United States Information Agency (USIA) who previously held responsibility for the program. The USIA was dissolved in October of 2000 and the functional office was absorbed into the Department of State.
