How long does it take to get the J1 visa?
It takes six to eight weeks on average to apply for a J-1 Visa and be accepted. Depending on the particular consulate or embassy where you apply, this procedure can take anywhere from one day (if you may apply in person) to four or more weeks. To avoid possible delays, we recommend that you send to CICD your application for J-1 sponsorship well in advance of the desired start date of your training.
Can J1 Visa holders switch to other categories?
J1 Visa holders can change/switch to another category if they wish but in order to do that they must switch to a category related to their purpose of their visit and the switch must be necessary due to the circumstances.
Who applies for the J1/J2 Visa the most?
J1/J2 Visa applicants come from all around the world, hence why this type of Visa is so popular. With around 300,000 exchange visitors every year, most applicants for the J1 Visa come from China (with 40,000 applicants), Great Britain (with 20,000) and Germany (with 19,000).
Required additional documents for the J1 Visa?
The American Embassy or Consulate is allowed to ask for additional information even if you have all the required documents in your interview. When it comes to Exchange Visitor Visa Applicants, they ask for: evidence of the reason why you are traveling to the U.S., the purpose of departing the U.S. after the trip and financial proof that you can cover up all your costs during the trip!
Differences between the J1 and J2 Visa Application?
The requirements are pretty similar but in some ways they differ. For a J1 Visa you need: a valid passport, SEVIS i-901 fee, insurance fee, the printed out DS-160 Form, the application fee receipt, a 2×2 photo of yourself, the DS-2019 Form, for the J1 Visa applicants the DS-7002 Form depending on which program they applied for and as for the J2 Visa the DS-7002 Form depending on which program their J1 Visa holder applied for, the I-94 document and the birth/marriage certificate.
Who is eligible to apply for the J2 Visa and what type of Visa is it?
To be able to apply for the J2 Visa you need a family member (your spouse) who is a J1 Visa applicant/holder. Even if your relative has a J1 Visa only a few people in their circle are eligible to apply. If you are their spouse or a minor child under the age of 21 and unmarried then you can apply for the non-immigrant dependent Visa.
