J1 US Intern Visa
J-1 Intern Visa?
The purpose of the J-1 Intern category of the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program is to give foreign students and recent graduates the opportunity to develop their skills while gaining an insight into US business practice and culture. Interns are expected to share the cross-cultural and professional experience they have gained in the U.S. upon returning to their own countries.
Many internships are paid.
Important Notes:
- Applicants should be aware that the J-1 Visa Program for Interns is intended solely as a means of participating in an internship. Using the J-1 Visa Program for Trainees to fill the position of a regular employee is strictly prohibited by U.S. Department of State regulations.
- As an intern, the applicant is strictly prohibited from accepting any employment in the U.S outside of their internship. If an applicant is found to engage in unauthorized work, he will be in violation of federal regulations, subject to immediate termination from the J-1 Visa Program, and may face deportation and other penalties through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
