The USA Exchange Visitor Visa (visa category J-1) is for individuals approved to take part in an exchange-visitor programme in the United States — for example research scholar, professor, trainee or other designated exchange programmes.
You must first be accepted by a designated exchange-programme sponsor, receive a Form DS-2019, and pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. You then complete the DS-160, pay the visa fee, and attend a biometrics appointment and a consular interview at the US Embassy or a Consulate.
Lifeset Overseas guides the DS-2019 and SEVIS steps and prepares your interview readiness so your exchange purpose is clearly evidenced.
