The J1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa designed for individuals participating in work-and-study-based exchange visitor programs in the United States. It allows foreign nationals to gain experience, enhance their skills, and share their culture while working or studying in various fields, such as education, science, and business. Participants in the J1 Visa program include students, interns, trainees, teachers, and researchers. The visa is sponsored by designated organizations and typically has a duration that varies based on the specific program. After completing their program, some J1 visa holders may be required to return to their home country for a period before applying for other U.S. visas.
