What are the top 3 countries for receiving J1 visas?
Even though there are around 300,000 exchange visitors in the United States every year, three countries stand out with the number of applicants they have for the J1/J2 Visa. In the first place we have China with 40,000 applicants; second place is Great Britain with 20,000 and last but not least Germany with 19,000 applicants.
What are the 3 states with the most j1/j2 visa holders?
Almost every year, around 300,000 international visitors come to the United States through the Exchange Visitor Visa. The highest number of Exchange guests are in California with 35,000; after California we have New York with 30,000 and Florida with 15,000 visitors.
What is the number of J1 visas that have been accepted?
Each year the number of J1 Visas keeps increasing because of how culturally diverse the programs being sponsored by U.S. universities/private sectors are. So it comes as no surprise that there have been 350,000 J1 Visas issued where most of them have been from China, Great Britain and Germany. 85% of them are younger than one third and half are female!
Where are most international students in the USA from?
Most international students who come to the US to study either for an undergraduate, graduate, non-degree programs are from China (350,000), then India (200,000), South Korea (50,000), Saudi Arabia (37,000), and Canada (25,000).
The type of Visa most students apply for to be able to study in the US is the F1 Visa. The F1 Visa is a nonimmigrant Visa which permits you to enter the United States and study there for as long as the course lasts. After your course ends you are asked to leave the country but you can choose to apply for the immigrant Visa if you wish to stay and change your status.
Are there any benefits to the J2 visa holders?
A J2 Visa holder has many benefits that other dependent Visa holders do not have. Besides the fact that they can accompany their spouse or parent they can also join their J1 Visa holder in their exchange program in the United States. They can also study and work in the U.S. as long as their J1 Visa holder is there!
How long are you able to stay in the US with a J1/j2 visa?
The length of time you will stay in the U.S. under your J-1 visa depends on your particular program, but, except under some cases, the limit can be seven years. As for the holders of the J2 visa, the length of the visa varies, since the holders of the J2 visa are permitted to remain for the same length as the holders of the J1 exchange visa. So, if their program is going to last two years, then the holder of the J2 can stay for the full term of two years or less.
Who are the main applicants for the J1/J2 visa?
J1/J2 Visa applicants come from all around the world, hence why this type of Visa is so popular. With around 300,000 exchange visitors every year, most applicants for the J1 Visa come from China (with 40,000 applicants), Great Britain (with 20,000) and Germany (with 19,000).
