What is the J-1 Visa?

The Exchange Visitor Visa (J-1) is a non-immigrant visa issued by the U.S. Department of State that provides opportunities for international participants interested in traveling and getting professional experience in the United States.

There are many categories within the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program. The purpose of this program is to expose individuals from around the world to the culture and institutions of the United States and to foster a better understanding between nations on a variety of issues through educational and cultural exchange programs.

The J-1 Exchange Visitor program invites foreign nationals to the United States to teach, study, conduct research, demonstrate special skills or receive on the job training for periods ranging from a few weeks to several years.

Stanley Prep is a designated program sponsor for four of the J-1 categories: Intern, Trainee, Research Scholar, and Specialist exchanges.

General Guidelines

Stanley Prep is committed to providing a streamlined visa application process for all its clients.

 

The standard processing time for J-1 sponsorship evaluation and DS-2019 issuance is approximately 20 business days from the date a completed application is submitted*. Applicants who require a sponsorship decision in a shorter timeframe are encouraged to review our expedited services, which guarantee that your application is evaluated within five business days, for an additional fee.

 

The DS-2019 is the official document confirming J-1 Visa eligibility under Stanley Prep’ sponsorship. It is not a visa. Once an applicant’s program is approved and their DS-2019 is issued, they must then schedule and attend an appointment at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy to apply for their U.S. visa**. It is important to consider embassy wait times and the time needed to travel to the United States as you plan your application timeframe and arrival date. In light of this multi-step process, we generally advise beginning the application process at least 2-3 months in advance of the training start date.

 

Please find your city’s U.S. Embassy or Consulate for the visa appointment and processing wait times.

 

* An application is considered complete once both the individual and host applications are received along with their required supporting documents. Please note that this process may take longer if we have not previously worked with the host company due to the on-boarding process for new hosts.

** This does not apply to Canadian citizens. Canadian citizens may use the DS-2019 for travel across the U.S. Border.

Step 1: Request + Submit Application
Individuals: Please submit an online individual application request with an application fee. A Stanley Prep staff member will review your request and send you instructions on how to complete your application online within 2 business days. Be prepared to submit official documentation which substantiates your education and employment qualifications.
 
Host Organizations: Please submit your Host Organization application online with your personal login information. If you do not yet have a login, your Stanley Prep contact can provide one for you, or we will provide you with access upon receipt of your participant application request. New host organizations may submit an application request here. A Stanley Prep staff member will review your request and send you instructions on how to complete your application online within 2 business days.
Step 2: Application Evaluation
Stanley Prep evaluates your complete application and issues a sponsorship decision within approximately 4 weeks. During this step, a Stanley Prep staff member may reach out with additional questions, to schedule a phone interview, and/or schedule a host organization site visit as necessary.
Step 3: Approval + DS-7002

If we are able to approve the application, we will send the applicant and the supervisor an official training plan (DS-7002) for review and signing.

Step 4: Submit DS-7002

The applicant and the supervisor sign and submit the DS-7002 Training Plan.

Step 5: DS-2019 Issued

Stanley Prep issues the DS-2019 within approximately two business days of receiving the signed training plan. It is then mailed to the applicant along with other important arrival documents. At this time, applicants are also e-mailed instructions on how to apply for the J-1 Visa in their home country.

Step 6: U.S. Embassy / Consulate Appointment

After making an appointment online, applicants attend an appointment at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy with the original DS-2019. Visa approval and issuance are at the discretion of the consular official. Visa appointment and processing wait times vary by city and time of year. On average, this process takes 2-4 weeks. Up-to-date information can be found on the U.S. Department of State website.
