About Us

Who we are

MyJ1Visa proudly administers the J-1 visa program which allows international students and recent graduates to intern with U.S. organizations. As a U.S. Department of State–designated sponsor, we are entrusted with guiding participants and host organizations through a secure, compliant, and enriching exchange experience.

The goal of the MyJ1Visa team is to support meaningful cultural exchange and help emerging professionals gain hands-on experience in the United States. Through structured training plans and strong regional support systems, participants can build practical skills while experiencing life and culture in a new environment.
