Despite new rule about first securing employment, interest in J-1 Program on the Rise 

Foreign exchange students have a growing interest in being able to come to the United States to study abroad. The summer J-1 Visa gives students around the globe the opportunity to come to the United States and study and work to gain valuable experience in their particular fields of study. 

Irish officials, for instance, say that attendance at preparatory events to prepare students for the J-1 Program has been massive. Also, Usit, the student travel body, hosted a recent event in Dublin where U.S. based companies such as Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Co. and Rainforest Café conducted Skype interviews. Events such as this would make it possible for students to secure the employment that is now necessary to obtain the J-1 Visa.
