J1 Internship/Trainee Program
The objective of the J-1 Visa is to foster better understanding and acceptance between the people of the United States and other countries around the world through educational and cultural exchange programs. The J-1 Internship category was established by the U.S. government to offer foreign university students and young professionals the opportunity to live and work in the USA for a limited period of time. Programs may last from three weeks to 18 months. This category provides students and professionals from all over the world the opportunity to enhance their professional skills and gain knowledge of American business practices by interning or training at U.S. companies.
The J-1 visa is a non-immigrant cultural exchange visa issued by the U.S. Department of State.
