About Us

USponsor Me was founded in California, USA, in 2017 by Sarah Papasodaro and Maxime Hilaire, two French nationals who obtained J-1 Trainee and J-2 visas.

What is the J-1 Visa?

The J-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa issued to participants in the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program, which promotes educational and cultural exchange in the United States. Among its categories are the J-1 Intern and J-1 Trainee programs, which allow foreign nationals to gain practical professional experience in the United States through structured training with a U.S. host company. The J-1 Intern category is intended for current college or university students and recent graduates, while the J-1 Trainee category is designed for professionals seeking to enhance their skills and expand their expertise.
