For candidates

Your path to a designated sponsor

After participants decide on a program they are interested in and secure a host employer or school that aligns with their career goals, the next step is to find a designated J-1 Visa sponsor.

  1. 1
    Secure a host employer or school

    Choose a program and confirm the U.S. host that matches your career goals.

  2. 2
    Find a designated J-1 Visa sponsor

    Use the official sponsor list to identify organizations by program category.

  3. 3
    Connect with a Program Advisor

    Select your country if you need local guidance on the application process.

  4. 4
    Complete your sponsorship and visa steps

    Your sponsor reviews the placement, issues your DS-2019 and registers you in SEVIS. You then pay the SEVIS fee and book your embassy interview.

J-1 Connect is not a designated sponsor. We help you find a host and the right sponsor contact, while the sponsorship and visa process is handled by the sponsor together with you and the U.S. embassy or consulate.
