The J-1 Visa Program is a non-immigrant visa issued by the United States to exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange, particularly to obtain medical, business, or other professional training within the U.S. The program aims to enhance mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and other countries through educational and cultural exchanges.
The J-1 Visa covers a wide range of exchange visitor programs, including academic programs, research programs, internships, training programs, au pair programs, summer work travel, teacher exchanges, and more.
The duration of stay under a J-1 Visa depends on the specific exchange program. It can range from a few weeks to several years. Each program has a defined duration of participation, which is stipulated by the U.S. Department of State. After the program ends, there is a 30-day grace period known as the "travel validity period" or "departure grace period" during which participants must leave the U.S.
Yes, J-1 visa holders can work, but the type of work permitted depends on the specific exchange program. For instance:
  • Au Pairs work as childcare providers.
  • Interns and Trainees can work within their field of training.
  • Summer Work Travel participants can take seasonal jobs.
  • Professors, Research Scholars, and Teachers work in academic positions.
