How the J-1 visa works

J-1 is an exchange visitor program run through a designated sponsor organization, not the employer directly. A sponsor issues Form DS-2019, and categories range from intern and trainee to research scholar and professor. Some J-1 holders face a two-year home-residency requirement afterward. Confirm which category fits and who the designated sponsor is before you commit.

Manufacturing J-1 Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which manufacturing companies sponsor the most J-1 visas?

Agility Robotics Inc. has the most, with 7 live J-1 jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Dassault Falcon Jet (5) and Magna International (4). Across the 10 manufacturing companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 33 live J-1 jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for J-1 sponsorship?

J-1 visa eligibility depends on the program category. Interns must be enrolled in or have recently graduated from a post-secondary institution outside the U.S. Trainees must have at least one year of relevant work experience or a degree plus experience. All participants must be accepted by a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization, demonstrate sufficient English proficiency, and show intent to return home after the program ends.

How much does J-1 sponsorship cost?

The employer pays the required government fees, not the candidate. Base fees run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the employer and processing speed, plus legal costs. Recent policy changes have added significant fees for some filings and the amounts have been in flux, so check the current figure before you rely on it.

How do I get J-1 sponsorship from a top sponsor?

To get a J-1 through a manufacturing employer, secure a training or internship offer from the company, then work with a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization to complete the DS-2019 form. The sponsor verifies your program plan and issues the DS-2019, which you use to apply for your J-1 visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. The employer and sponsor coordinate the training program structure, goals, and duration before your visa interview.
