J Visa
J visa (Exchange visa) can be obtained for 18 months through approved J Visa programs. The
aim of this programme is to foster international relations by bringing exchange
visitors into the US to acquire skills that can be utilised in their home country. These programmes need to be
designated by the United States Information Agency. If you wish to work for a
short period of time, the easiest method may be on a J-1 exchange visitor visa.
However if you wish to apply for a "more permanent" non-immigrant visa
at a later date or permanent residence, depending on the scheme, there may be
problems. There is a two-year home residency requirement after the J program is
complete. Please visit the US Department of State’s Web site for more details
on the J visas provided. The web site is http://exchanges.state.gov.
In addition the two-year home residency requirement may be waived. For more
information of whether you qualify for the waiver visit: www.travel.state.gov.
