Employ Foreign Workers Under a J-1 Program

Are you looking for more options to employ foreign workers in the United States? Beyond workers earning a green card through employment, one of the options may be through a J-1 program.  You can either apply to be designated as a sponsor.  You must have a responsible officer with at least 3 years of experience in international exchange, have experience in operating a successful business, present financial statements or audit report, meet financial obligations and responsibilities of the exchange visitor program, and demonstrate your ability to comply with the regulations of the exchange visitor program.  The processing time is over 4-6 months.  Alternatively, you may participate in a J-1 program as the host organization that conducts training or internship programs according to an agreement with the designated sponsor.

J-1 program is for the following foreign workers: professors and research scholars, short-term scholars, trainees or interns, college and university students, teachers, secondary school students, nonacademic specialists, foreign physicians, international visitors, government visitors, camp counselors, au pair and summer students in a travel and work program.
