J-1 Student Visa Holder

General Information

The J visa’s formal name is the Exchange Visitor Program. To learn more about what the Program is and how it is different from other non-immigrant visas you can watch a short video or read the information posted on the State Department web site. J-1 student status will allow you to remain in the U.S. for the duration of your full-time academic program. J-1 Students must have a substantial portion of their funding from a source other than personal.

J-1 students are responsible for maintaining their J-1 status while in the US.
