The J visa allows foreign nationals to travel to the United States under numerous exchange programs recognized by the USCIS.
- Individuals ranging from students to researchers and specialists can:
- Pursue their studies
- Receive training
- Or share their knowledge under this visa program
This visa also allows the visa holder to pursue other extracurricular activities outside of their cultural exchange as well.
