To be eligible as a J1 Visa Intern, you must be between 18 and 35 years old and be able to prove that you are either: currently enrolled in and pursuing studies at a degree- or certificate-granting post-secondary academic institution (outside of U.S.), OR have graduated from one less than 12 months before the start date of the J1 Exchange Visitor Program. Keep in mind that the word «Intern» is a term only used for immigration purposes and it doesn’t have to affect your stipend, responsibilities or title at the American Host Company.
