Position Overview
RedTire is a KU School of Business venture designed to enhance the economic well-being of Kansas and the surrounding states. The program finds the most suitably qualified candidate buyers to match with a successful small- to medium-sized business, preventing the shuttering of the business due to a lack of an owner successor. RedTire assists in successfully transitioning the business to new ownership and relies on University of Kansas (KU) student interns for the financial analysis and valuation modeling phases of the process.
The KU student analyst’s first objective is to provide assistance to the RedTire Director so that quality business and technical consulting assistance to RedTire clients is provided. Secondly, the aim of the role is to also provide an excellent experimental learning opportunity to the KU student.

The position works on-site at Capitol Federal Hall and will receive $10.25 per hour during the initial training period. Ideal candidates will continue in the role for multiple semesters and receive increasing wage adjustments for returning semesters, commensurate with performance.

* Applying academic valuation techniques to a live company and learning other small business valuation techniques that are not generally taught in the academic accounting or finance classroom.
* Obtaining direct experience and insight into how the deal process works.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as an Analyst Intern
Align your training plan with analytical coursework
J-1 visa Intern eligibility requires that your U.S. placement directly relates to your field of study. Document specific courses, projects, or academic concentrations that map to data analysis, financial modeling, or research methodology before approaching host employers.
Verify the 12-month enrollment rule early
To qualify under the J-1 Intern category, you must be currently enrolled in, or have graduated within 12 months from, a degree program. Confirm your graduation date against your intended start date before submitting applications to avoid disqualification.
Search Migrate Mate for J-1-aligned analyst roles
Filter your search on Migrate Mate to surface U.S. employers who have hosted J-1 exchange visitors in analytical and business functions. Targeting hosts with prior J-1 experience shortens the timeline between offer and DS-2019 issuance.
Confirm the host employer will sign your training plan
Before accepting an offer, ask the employer whether they will complete and sign a J-1 Training Plan form. Some smaller firms decline this step, which blocks your designated sponsor from issuing the DS-2019 and stalls the entire sponsorship process.
Check whether your country triggers the two-year home residency requirement
Some J-1 participants must return home for two years after their program before qualifying for H-1B visa or permanent resident status. The requirement is tied to your country of nationality and whether your participation was government-funded or skills-listed.
Build your SEVIS record into your start date negotiation
After your designated sponsor issues the DS-2019 and registers your SEVIS record, you still need to pay the SEVIS fee and schedule a consular interview. Factor at least six to eight weeks into your negotiated start date to avoid offer rescission.
Analyst Intern J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to an Analyst Intern role?
Current students and graduates within 12 months of completing a degree program use the J-1 Intern category, not Trainee. The Intern category covers structured placements that directly relate to your academic field, so an economics, finance, or data-science student working as an analyst intern fits squarely within this classification. Early-career professionals more than 12 months past graduation would need to apply under the Trainee category instead.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for an analyst internship?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization, not the employer. Organizations like IIE, CIEE, Cultural Vistas, and AIPT issue the DS-2019 form, maintain your SEVIS record, and monitor compliance with program requirements. The company where you do your analytical work is the host employer, a legally distinct role from the designated sponsor. Both must agree to participate before your exchange can begin.
How do I find U.S. employers willing to host a J-1 analyst intern?
Search Migrate Mate to identify U.S. companies that have hosted J-1 exchange visitors in analytical, finance, or business operations roles. Host-employer willingness is the most common bottleneck: many employers understand the J-1 program in research contexts but are less familiar with the Intern category in corporate settings. Targeting employers with documented J-1 hosting history significantly reduces the education burden on your side of the negotiation.
Can I extend my J-1 analyst internship beyond the initial program period?
The J-1 Intern category allows a maximum cumulative duration of 12 months in the United States, including any extensions. Extensions require approval from your designated sponsor before the current program end date and must be justified by a revised training plan. You cannot extend beyond 12 months total, and you cannot switch from the Intern category to the Trainee category within the same stay to gain additional time.
Does completing a J-1 analyst internship affect my ability to get an H-1B later?
Possibly, depending on whether the two-year home residency requirement applies to you. If your J-1 participation was government-funded or your home country appears on the DOL skills list, you must spend two years in your home country before becoming eligible for H-1B or immigrant visa status. Participants not subject to the requirement face no barrier to H-1B sponsorship after their J-1 program ends. Confirm your status with your designated sponsor before accepting any offer.
