J-1 Visa ban lifted
A recent Federal court order has been issued, lifting the J-1 Visa ban of June 2020 for new J-1 Internship/Traineeship programs. The recent preliminary injunction was released on October 1, 2020, allowing the issuing of new J-1 visas of diverse categories, including the Internship and Traineeship programs. Although this is a great step forward, there are still several regional travel restrictions in place since March 2020 (Source: Travel Restrictions). These travel restrictions are independent of your ability to obtain a J-1 visa. We, however, are already accepting new J-1 visa applicants with starting dates in 2020 and 2021. You can apply through our application form in order to schedule your intake free of charge. During this intake you will get the latest visa options available to you, and you can start up the process accordingly. Read more >

The US Government is temporarily restricting travels from European countries to the United States from March 13, 2020 for a period of 30 days. We are monitoring the instructions from the US Government and health authorities carefully and will abide by these instructions, keeping the health and safety of everyone involved as our priority. Candidates starting their programs before May 1st 2020 might expect a possible delay in their starting date.
