 What is a J-1 visa?

The J-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa for individuals participating in exchange programs in the United States, whether for study, research, training, or cultural exchange.

How can Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC help with my case?

The J-1 visa is unique because it is tied to specific exchange programs, and you will work with your sponsoring program to determine eligibility, secure sponsorship, prepare your documentation, and attend your visa interview.

Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC most often works with J-1 visa holders after their admission to the United States. These clients usually seek to extend their stay in the U.S. after their program ends, either through further education, employment, or permanent residency. Transitioning from a J-1 visa to another visa category can be complicated, especially if the two-year home residency requirement applies. Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC is available to help you:

  • Evaluate Your Options: Discuss the various visa options available to you after your J-1 program, such as F-1 student visas, H-1B work visas, or immigrant visas (Green Cards).
  • Apply for Waivers: If you are subject to the two-year home residency requirement, an attorney can assist you in applying for a waiver, presenting a strong case based on hardship, no objection from your home country, or other qualifying criteria.
  • Navigate the Change of Status Process: If you wish to change your status from a J-1 visa to another visa while in the U.S., an attorney can guide you through the process, ensuring that all necessary forms are filed correctly and on time.
