The J-1 visa for the USA is a non-immigrant visa. The J-1 program was established to bring scholars into the United States temporarily for a specific educational purpose, such as teaching or conducting research. Today, it also focuses on promoting cultural exchange with an exchange of skills between Americans and the rest of the world.
The J-1 Trainee visa is designed for professionals who wish to enhance their skills and gain further experience in their field.
The J-1 Intern visa is intended for students and recent graduates seeking to complete an internship in their field of study.
Yes. Any structured internship or training experience in the United States—whether paid or unpaid and regardless of duration—requires a J-1 visa under the Intern or Trainee category.
