How it works with VisaNerd.
1. Your free J-1 Visa Check
A few questions, one minute. You see right away whether we can sponsor your J-1 Visa and what you pay.
2. Apply with your J-1 Visa covered
After the check you know whether we can sponsor your J-1 Visa. You can tell the employer that your visa sponsorship is taken care of.
3. We handle your J-1 Visa
Once you have the offer, we handle your sponsorship: training plan check, documents and the sponsor, through to your DS-2019. VisaNerd is an official international representative of CIEE.
