Sponsorship can be

overwhelming

Let me make it easy for you

J1 VISA

Our best bet

Affordable

Price equals a DC monthly rent

Easy to get

No yearly limit on the number of issued visas

Fast

The process can start as early as November

Is API elegible?

Unchecked items I’m not sure about

  • Must have an Employer Identification Number
  • Must have Workers Compensation Insurance (or proof of exemption or self-insured)
  • Direct supervisor listed on DS-7002 Training / Internship Placement Plan must be on-site (not remote)
  • 5 full-time employees per 1 intern ratio for host companies hosting more than 1 intern/trainee
  • Annual revenue of $3 million or a minimum of 25 employees OR on- site visit
  • The training Site of Activity (SOA) must have at least 50% American employees
  • English must be primary language spoken in office and business website must be in English

The process is

Easy as 1 2 3!

Agency will contact API

To collect 2 documents templates: host agreement and training plan

Fees have to be paid

By either me or API
Aprox. cost: $2750

  • Application fee ($300 USD)
  • SEVIS (Student Exchange Visitor Information System) fee paid to the U.S. government ($220 USD)
  • Administrative costs associated with the issuance of the DS-2019 form

    And more things that apply more to me, so I left them out

Final docs

Both you (my direct supervisor) and I will get a DocuSign to collect electronic signatures on the official training plan

And that's it on your end!

Any questions?

Here there are plenty of resources

Don't take my word for it

For this type of visa is the best way to do it. They are approved by the Department of State and make the process smooth

Well, there’s paperwork involved, of course! But the agency will take care of pretty much everything and the rest is up to me

Unfortunately, yes. There is an 18 month cap. But, is renewable!

H1B is the best option long term, but time is of the essence right now. Applications for the H1B are done every March and there is a cap of how many they are issued yearly.
We can apply for it when the time comes.
