Are there any restrictions to the J2 visa holders?
Even though you can work and study, you are completely dependent on your J1 Visa holder. Because of that, you can only apply for work after entering the United States. If your J1 Visa holder is in jeopardy so are you as their J2 Visa holder.
Why is the US the TOP choice when it comes to research work and studying?
There are many reasons why the United States is one of the top picks not only for international students but also for professors or trainees wanting to participate in an exchange visitor program. Some of the reasons are: colleges in the United States offer a high – quality education, a culturally diverse environment, internships and career advancement for their students, specialized services and more.
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).
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.
What is the number of J2 visas that have been issued?
J2 Visas just like F2 Visas are dependent temporary nonimmigrant Visas which not everyone is eligible for. In order to apply you need to be the spouse or unmarried child of the J1/F1 Visa holder. In comparison there are less J2 Visa applicants than the J1 Visa, therefore around 40,000 have been issued.
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!
What is the difference between the J1 and J2 visa?
The J1 Visa or the Exchange Visitor Program is a temporary nonimmigrant visa that allows international applicants to participate in work and study based programs to travel and gain experience in the United States. As for the J2 Visa holder, they go to the US to accompany the J1 Visa holder, meaning you can only get a J2 Visa issued if you are the child or spouse of the J1 Visa applicant.
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).
