The J-1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows individuals to participate in work-and-study-based exchange visitor programs in the United States. It is designed for various categories, including students, interns, researchers, and teachers, promoting cultural exchange and professional development. Participants in the J-1 Visa program can gain valuable experience while sharing their culture with Americans. The visa typically requires sponsorship from an approved organization, and it has specific duration limits depending on the program type. After completing their program, some J-1 visa holders may be subject to a two-year home residency requirement.
