J-1 Visa
A J-1 Visa is a stamp, placed in your passport, issued by a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country. The J-1 Visa facilitates entry into the U.S. when presented at a port of entry along with any other necessary visa documents (such as an DS-2019 Form). One cannot obtain a visa stamp within the U.S., it must be obtained in your home country. It is generally good for one, two, or multiple entries and usually has an expiration date (which may or may not correspond to your authorized period of stay).
The J-1 Visa (with a DS-2019 form) allows you to:
• Work up to 4 months from your date of entry until the date on your DS-2019 form
• Obtain a social security number
• Apply for a US driver's license
J-1 Visa programs allow international citizens to work, train, and travel legally in the United States. J-1 Visa students, trainees, interns, and seasonal staff work and earn money, while experiencing daily life in the United States.
J-1 Visa programs allow U.S. businesses to hire seasonal staff, international interns, summer camp counselors, and support staff to fill seasonal and international trainee positions. Au pair programs also are included in the J-1 Visa program. They allow U.S. families to host an au pair in their home who, in turn, provides childcare for the host family's children.
